Simply, it is the act of sacrificing an animal (sheep, cow, camel or goat) for Allah’s sake on the day of Eidul-Adha. One third of the sacrifice should be delivered to the poor and needy so they can celebrate Eid, second third can be given to friends and family to strengthen ties and the last third is for you to enjoy. However, you can donate the the entire meat to those who need it them most – if you can.
