[quote]The argument that there are so many needy people today who are waiting to be helped and that we would do well to divert our resources towards their well being rather than mindlessly slaughtering animals is misplaced, in my opinion. <BLOCKQUOTE id=quote><font size=1 face="Urdu,Naskh,Asiatype" id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote> However, the question remains that if a person faces a situation where he has to help someone in dire circumstance but in doing so, he cannot sacrifice on the Eid for lack of resources, he should, in my humble opinion, help out his poor fellow instead of sacrificing. [/quote]<font face="Urdu,Naskh,Asiatype" size=3 id=quote> There will always be someone, in dire straits, whom we should help. Unless you imply that a close association is in need of help, this argument does not hold water. We tend to conflate ideas and beliefs which have different backgrounds and ought to be practiced seperately and simultaneously. We have time throughout the year to help someone but come Eid al-Adhaa and suddenly there is a surge of philanthropic activity in our system, which is not bad at all but better be reserved for days other than Eid.[/quote]
