MINA, 21 January 2005 — For pilgrims coming from abroad, the easiest way to complete the ritual of slaughtering a sheep or a camel before they can come out of the state of ihram is to buy the coupons from the Islamic Development Bank which runs the massive sacrificial meat project. However, many pilgrims prefer to buy sheep or camel at the abattoirs on the day of sacrifice and slaughter it themselves.
