The poor people among the Muslims who cannot afford buying a goat , form a group and buy a single bull and sacrifice it , the bull is big animal and costs about Rs 15000 and above , so the share of each person works out nominal.
The bull kurbani is cheaper the butcher charges abut Rs 1500 for the cutting.
On the other hand a goat ranges from Rs 5000 onwards the butcher charges about Rs 650 to about Rs 800 for the cutting, price differs from area to area.
Lambs too are sacrificed but the meat is tasteless and they cost cheaper.
But of late Kurbani is about money power wealth and envy showing off by buying expensive animals for news crazy media,goats costing Rs 1 lac and above , fancy Chinese goats camels and dumbas.
I mean a sacrifice is a sacrifice if you but a an animal for one tenth the fancy price, the saved money could be donated to orphans and widows this is a thought that hardly reaches the rich Muslim mans hardened soul and mind.
We bought a goat for Rs 5000 and we never exceed this amount we are living on the precipice at the moment.We had our goat cut at the butcher my sons bought the meat home , I stayed away from all this because of the diabetic ulcer on my hand , our goat comes from Ebu bhai of Noorani Masjid lane.
