The Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar, has cautioned Muslims in the country to observe the forthcoming Eld-Kabir festival in line with Coronavirus regulations.
Eld-Kabir festival, which usually comes up on the 10th day of Dhul-Hijjah, the twelve month of Islamic calendar, is a day where Muslims across the world slaughter rams or any other accepted animal after the two Rakkah compulsory prayers, in order to emulate Prophet Ibrahim.
He said further that Muslims in Nigeria should note that Coronavirus is not just a Nigerian issue, but a global matter of concern. “For the purpose of emphasis, the fundamental goal of Shari’ah or “divine guidance”, popularly construed as “Islamic Law”, which is a more befitting interpretation of its component, “fiqh”, is security. In Islam, this security operates at five cardinal levels, otherwise referred to as maqaasidus shari’ah or objectives of Shari’ah. These are the security of religion, life, intellect, procreation and property.
