ISLAMABAD: The Ministry of Religious Affairs and Interfaith Harmony has made the decision to return Rs55,000 that was collected from Hajj pilgrims as a “animal sacrifice amount.”
Before leaving for Saudi Arabia to perform the Hajj, pilgrims under the regular and sponsorship programmes can get the funds from their respective banks.
Senator Muhammad Talha Mehmood, Minister of Religious Affairs, issued particular instructions that were followed in making this choice.
It declared that the government-run Qurbani booths in Saudi Arabia would be situated close to official residences, making it simple to buy the coupons.
