SKA, parts of KP celebrate Eid Tuesday ISLAMABAD: Eid-ul-Azha was celebrated Tuesday in Saudi Arabia and parts of Khybar Pakhtunkhah with full devotion and enthusiasm. According to Geo News, after Hajjis completed last rituals of Hajj in Makkah like rami (stoning the devil), they sacrificed their animals (qurbani) to revive Sunnat-e-Ibrahimi.

They have also shaved their heads off and changed “Ahram” as part of Hajj’s essential rite. After that they did sa’hi and returned back to Mina.

The Hajjis also offered namaz-i-eid in Masjid-e-Nabavi.

Bohri community of Karachi also celebrated Eid on Tuesday with religious fervor and offered Eid prayers.
