It was also emphasized that although sacrifice is an important religious rite, its fulfillment in the current conditions can be an overwhelming burden for the poor in the population.
In this regard, the country’s authorities called on the people to abandon customs and reported that King Muhammad VI himself would perform this rite on behalf of the whole people.
