Brussels, (Brussels Morning)-The Muslim community will be dressed in festive clothing this weekend and will sit down at the halal butcher shop. Muslims celebrate the Feast of Sacrifice from Saturday to Monday. This is traditionally done with freshly slaughtered sheep, but this weekend there will be no slaughter at the Abattoir. Whoever wants a piece of sheep that has been slaughtered after prayer has to wait for deliveries from … Scotland.
First the tradition: with the Feast of the Sacrifice, according to tradition, Muslim families slaughter a sheep to share with family, neighbors and especially poorer people.
