As part of the early preparations for the celebration of Eid al-Adha in the year 1447 Hijri, the Ministry of Interior has issued an official communication to regional governors and local officials across the Kingdom. This correspondence calls for the implementation of necessary measures to ensure the effective management and organization of the sacrificial animal markets under optimal conditions. The official document, dated May 21, 2026, highlights that the approach of Eid al-Adha is marked by significant economic activity, characterized by the influx of numerous livestock professionals and traders into the markets. This situation necessitates the mobilization of various stakeholders to ensure the smooth operation of these temporary commercial spaces.
The Ministry of Interior emphasized the imperative to ensure safety and security conditions within the livestock markets while adhering to hygiene and health standards. Additionally, it called for the facilitation of administrative procedures related to the organization of sacrificial sales, which would ensure the seamless flow of commercial activities and protect the safety of citizens. Furthermore, the ministry recommended a temporary suspension of entry fees to the livestock markets from May 21 to May 27, 2026, considering this measure as part of the effort to promote equality among participants and alleviate burdens associated with this religious occasion.
The communication also indicated that should this suspension lead to any financial imbalance in the budgets of local authorities, the Ministry of Interior's departments would assist the affected communities in overcoming any potential shortfall. These directives come in the context of the public authorities' commitment to ensure that the Eid al-Adha period proceeds in a well-organized and health-conscious environment, while enhancing the oversight and monitoring of livestock market conditions across various regions of the Kingdom.
