Aidiladha prayers, 'korban' sacrifice allowed in Perak

Perak ruler Sultan Nazrin Shah has given his consent for Hari Raya Aidiladha prayers and the "ibadah korban" (animal sacrificial rites) to be held in the state even though Aidiladha will be celebrated during the recovery movement control order (MCO) period.

Perak Islamic Religious Council and Malay Customs (MAIPk) chief executive officer Shahrul Azam Shaari said the decision was taken after the ruler took into consideration the recommendations from the Perak Fatwa Council and referred to the guidelines of the National Security Council (NSC) and the Health Ministry.
