Eid al-Adha (10 Dhul-Hijjah): the sacrifice, prayer and sunnahs
Short answerEid al-Adha is the tenth of Dhul-Hijjah, remembering the sacrifice of Ibrahim. It includes the Eid prayer and then the udhiyah (sacrifice) of a grazing animal, from which a Muslim eats, gifts and gives in charity. The goal is piety: neither their meat nor blood reaches God.
