"Muslims living in Moscow will not perform the rite of sacrifice on the day of Eid al-Adha within the city boundary" said Mufti of Moscow, the chief imam of the Moscow Cathedral Mosque Ildar Hazrat Alyautdinov in an interview with a correspondent of the Islam.ru news agency.
"If such happens, it will be clearly someone planned provocation to denigrate two million population of the capital of Russia", - said the theologian. Ildar Hazrat Alyautdinov also said thatRussia's Muslims are very civilized and cultured, they respect the laws and practices of other religions.
Ildar Hazrat said that there haven’t organized special places to carry out the ritual of sacrifice in the city of Moscow. This is the decision of the Moscow authorities. But in the suburbs there are many places where muslims will be able to conduct this ritual. It is basically private farms, where all the conditions for the slaughtering of animals have been created. Moscow Muslims and muslims who live in the region, as well as muslims from other places will get an opportunity to perform all the prescribed rituals of Eid al-Adha with ease thanks to these private farms.
