Discussion Do you buy the eid sacrifice ?

I had this though in my head about non religious married couples who aren't open about that to family and friends , how do you deal with this kind of religious events, do you buy it just to keep appearances ? How do you deal with what people says afterwards especially if you are making good money ( you can't use the too expensive excuse)

Nb: this question isn't for people who don't care about what people think and have an environment that enables them to do so, good for you , I'm asking people who are non religious but still lives near family especially.

Family stopped doing it. Thank the universe for الموالين that are slowly killing this dumb tradition.

We were forced to buy it. We cannot afford it. But my father went ahead and bought it and made us pay him back. Positive side is that now I have meat for the whole year. Negative side is that it was way over our budget and it was a serious financial set back.

We make 30 millions combined, it's still too expansive for us, we live in Algiers and we rent.

Do you live under a rock? 15 million is a common salary in Algeria, especially the economic sector and free trade

i'm pretty sure some of the rich Sahaba like Abu-Bakr and Umar didn't sacrifice every year, you can use that card

Someone none religious, with decent income and still living nearby his family while hiding it? What answer are you expecting genuinely...

Just say that even the sahaba were boucotting eid... it's not mandatory to sacrifice.
