Bakrid

Bakrid and Quran

There is no mention of Bakrid or Eid-Al-Adha in the Quran. Quran talks about Abraham sacrificing his son. This is not Bakrid which entails animal sacrifice. Surah Al-Hajj is not about Bakrid either. It is about the sacrifice of animals at Hajj in Mecca. In fact, it specifically says sacrifice has to be offered only at Kaaba.

There is nothing in Quran that states that “You have to sacrifice animals every year on a specific day”.
