| Haj pilgrims encouraged to pay penalty at counters Posted: 26 Oct 2011 11:17 PM PDT MECCA: Haj pilgrims are encouraged to pay for the 'dam' (penalty) and 'korban' (sacrifice) at Tabung Haji (TH) financial counters to avoid any confusion regarding these obligations. TH Guidance Operations Manager Nukman Fadzil said the process of slaughtering sacrfice animals and penalty payments must be carried out according to religious requirements. He said pilgrims could pay for the penalty themselves or find the livestock for slaughter, but they must meet various criteria in terms of value, size and age of the livestock.
He said TH, with the cooperation of the Islamic Development Bank (IDB), would take responsibility over the penalty and sacrifice to ensure the payment of the haj penalty and slaughter were smoothly implemented. He added that TH had a special group of personnel who were assigned to ensure that there was sufficient livestock, and that the slaughtered meat was distributed to those who were eligible. -- BERNAMA |
