The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Project for the Utilization of Hady and Adahi has started receiving udhiyah (الأضحية, sacrifice) and hady (هدي, sacrifice by Hajj pilgrims on 10 Dhulhijjah) requests for the Hajj 2022 season.
The Project is supporting more payment channels and digital means to receive adahi (أضاحي, sacrifice) requests and allow the tracking of adahi ritual performances. Payment coupons can be purchased from organisations such as the Al-Rajhi and AlBilad banks. Digital services are encouraged.
The rituals are performed following organised shari'ah and sanitary procedures in Makkah's slaughterhouses under the supervision of qualified shari'ah and veterinary professionals.
Sadaqah (صدقة, voluntary charity), fidyah (فدية,charity given because of a missed day of fasting) and aqiqah (عقيقة, sacrifice on the occasion of a birth) sales remain available all year round on Adahi.org. In the past few months the Project distributed nearly one million carcasses to over 2.5 million families in KSA in cooperation with charities. In addition, meat from 300,000 animals was shipped to Muslim countries and handed to about 1.5 million families.
