This year, a holy holiday of all Muslims Eid al-Adha will be celebrated on July 9 and last until July 11.

In addition, it is customary to visit relatives and gather for a festive celebration. The Supreme Mufti of Kazakhstan urged not to raise prices for livestock, and not to speculate on the high demand of buyers during the days of Eid al-Adha.

“During the days of the holy Eid al-Adha, I urge the sellers to assist and help our Muslim believers, and not to speculate on the prices of livestock. This would be a great reward for all of us,” said Nauryzbai Kazhy Taganuly, Chairperson of the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of Kazakhstan.
