Dr. Shabbir Ahmed says that sacrificing with your own hands is certainly a better deed, but Australia is one of those countries that does not allow you to slaughter animals yourself.

Canberra resident Hamid Munga said that I take special care of the students here on the occasion of Qurbani, and I deliver meat to them so that they can also eat meat.
