Don’t borrow to buy Salah ram, Imam cautions Muslims

Chief Imam of Ar-razzaq Mosque at Tanke in Ilorin, Malam Muhammad Adewoyin, has cautioned Muslims against engaging in borrowing to fulfil the religious obligation of sacrificing an animal during Salah.

Adewoyin told newsmen on Tuesday that the act of sacrificing an animal during Salah is a symbol of obedience and devotion to Allah.

”Borrowing to fulfil this obligation is a way of imposing an unnecessary financial burden on oneself. Salah is not an opportunity to show off affluence or materialism,” he said.

The cleric, who is also the Principal Assistant Registrar at the University of Ilorin, said it is common knowledge that celebrating with friends and family during the Salah period is Islamically recognised.

“However, Muslims are expected to spend responsibly during the Salah celebration,” he added.

Adewoyin also pointed out that it is not obligatory for Muslims to purchase new clothes or engage in lavish spending solely for the purpose of celebrating Salah.

He urged Muslims in the country to be prudent generally while celebrating during the period.
