MUSCAT : In line with the directives of the competent authorities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the mission emphasized that all sacrificial animal purchases must be made exclusively through approved channels.

This can be made “either through the Nusuk Masar platform or by directly purchasing sacrificial animal bonds from the Kingdom’s project to benefit from sacrificial animals and offerings,” the mission stated.
The mission warned against purchasing sacrificial animals from unauthorized sources or unlicensed entities, stressing that such actions are prohibited.

“Purchasing from any unauthorized entity or source is prohibited, in order to ensure the integrity of procedures and the implementation of the rituals in accordance with Sharia regulations,” the alert stated.
