This year, many Muslims in France face difficulties performing the traditional Eidul Azha sacrifice due to high livestock prices and limited approved slaughtering facilities. In the Gard region, mosques like Lumiere et Piete in Nimes announced that sacrifices cannot be held because of these challenges, including strict administrative rules and rising sheep costs. Meanwhile, Morocco’s government urged citizens to skip the ritual sacrifice, citing a significant drop in livestock numbers. Local authorities in France have only allowed one temporary slaughterhouse to serve the Muslim community, adding to the struggle during this important religious event.
