Suck it up, just like the rest of us do, homie.
[KavkazUzel] In Makhachkala, for the Eid al-Adha holiday, prices for lamb almost doubled compared to last year, city residents said.

As the " Caucasian Knot " wrote, this morning thousands of believers gathered in the central Makhachkala Juma Mosque to participate in the holiday prayer on the occasion of Kurban Bayram.

Kurban Bayram (Eid al-Adha) is a holiday of sacrifice in memory of the decision of the prophet Ibrahim to sacrifice his son. This is one of the two main Muslim holidays, it is celebrated 70 days after the holiday of Eid al-Fitr and falls on the tenth day of the month of Dhul-Hijj, which marks the end of the Hajj - the pilgrimage to Mecca.

Prices for lamb have increased significantly for the Eid al-Adha holiday, believers from Makhachkala told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent today.

“Today the cost of one ram ranged from 15 to 20 thousand rubles, whereas last year it did not exceed 10 thousand. It is very expensive, my brothers and I raised money and bought it for everyone,” said Makhachkala resident Magomed Yusupov.

It is customary to treat the meat of animals sacrificed during Kurban Bayram to poor people, as well as relatives and friends, the imam of the Makhachkala Ikhlas mosque Rakhmuddin Badruddinov told the Caucasian Knot in 2023. “Thus, the festival of sacrifice has a very great social significance, when the rich support the poor and share joy with them. The poor and poor, who cannot afford the festival, thanks to the meat of sacrificial animals that is distributed on these days, can also afford the festival.” - said the imam.

COMPARED TO LAST YEAR, MEAT PRICES HAVE ALMOST DOUBLED
“On Eid al-Fitr, according to tradition, many products have become more expensive.

That’s not tradition, dear heart, but merely economics. When more people want to buy a limited quantity of a thing, the price for it goes up until people turn to substitutes. Chicken instead of mutton, for instance, or possibly ditch weeds and grass.

We usually get together with the whole family on this day, invite family and friends, cook delicious food. Compared to last year, meat has almost doubled in price, now less than 700 rubles per kilogram of good quality is not you will find it. It’s very expensive for our family,” complained Malikat from Makhachkala.

A resident of the city of Anisat also reported an increase in prices. “All products have become more expensive. We can’t afford to buy meat every day. I live in a five-story building in Makhachkala. We have a friendly yard, there is a tradition - every Kurban Bayram, neighbors who have the opportunity, collect money and buy meat. Then in the yard in They cook food in a big cauldron and call everyone,” she said.

Makhmud Ilyasov, a resident of Makhachkala, said that he buys a sheep every year. “According to tradition, a third of the meat should be given to those in need, a third should be given to neighbors, relatives, friends, and the rest should be kept for yourself. I bought a lamb for 17 thousand, took the meat to my wife’s elderly parents, and gave it to poor neighbors,” the man said.

Let us remind you that in Dagestan, as in Karachay-Cherkessia, Kabardino-Balkaria and Ingushetia, residents are given only one day off on the occasion of Kurban Bayram - June 17. In Chechnya, two days, June 17 and 18, have been declared holidays.
