Saudi King Salman Covers Expenses for Hajj Pilgrims’ Sacrificial Animals
In a generous act of kindness, Saudi Arabia’s King Salman has personally paid for the sacrificial animals of 3,322 Hajj pilgrims. These pilgrims are part of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques Program for Hajj, Umrah, and Visit, representing 88 countries.
The act of slaughtering an animal during Hajj is a symbolic reminder of Prophet Ibrahim’s willingness to sacrifice his son, Ismail, as a sign of complete devotion to God.
The Minister of Islamic Affairs, Dawah, and Guidance, Sheikh Dr. Abdullatif bin Abdulaziz Al Al-Sheikh, praised King Salman’s gesture as a demonstration of his unwavering generosity towards all Muslims.
