Eid al-Adha and Nahr (Animal Sacrifices)
The third day of Hajj is also the 10th day of Dhul Hijjah which starts the four-day festival of Eid al-Adha.
Pilgrims perform animal sacrifices, using either camels or lambs as the sacrificial animal. Although some sacrifice animals themselves, nowadays many opt for buying a sacrifice voucher before Hajj, allowing professionals to slaughter the animal on their behalf on the correct day. A share of the meat is then distributed to the needy, ensuring every Muslim around the world can eat.
