Even with Little Income, You Can Still Sacrifice! Here's the Tips

Kapanlagi.com - In addition to Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha is another important day celebrated by Muslims. One special activity that is done on this holiday is sacrificing animals, such as goats or cows. This activity is carried out as a form of sacrifice and concern for others by sharing.

Although this celebration is usually intended for those who are able, it does not mean that people with little income cannot participate in sacrificing. In fact, it can still be done if you follow the following tips. What are they?

Determine the Sacrificial Animal First

In Indonesia, cows and goats are the most common sacrificial animals. One Javanese cow weighing around 200-350 kg is usually priced at around Rp14 million. This price is the cheapest compared to other types of sacrificial cows. However, this range is still considered expensive, especially for people with low incomes.

But, if you want to buy sacrificial animals at a lower price, then goats can be the best option. One goat has a standard price of around Rp1.8 - 2 million for a weight of 23-25 kilograms. This price is certainly more affordable compared to one cow. But, the decision in choosing sacrificial animals is back to you. If you can afford it, then you can choose a cow. But if not, goats are not a bad choice to take.

Find Friends to Share the Cost

After deciding which sacrificial animal to buy, the next tip to try is to invite close people like friends or family to share the cost. This method is highly recommended, especially for those of you with low income. This is because the cost of buying sacrificial animals can feel cheaper when done with a group of people.

For example, if you buy a standard-sized Madura cow weighing 225-350 kg, the cost usually ranges from around Rp19-24 million per head. Now, if it is divided among 7 people, the price can be more affordable, around Rp2.5-3.5 million per person. So, look for people who can be partners.

Set Aside Money Every Day

The next tip for sacrificing is to set aside money every day for a certain period. This can be applied if you already know how much is needed to buy a sacrificial animal. By setting aside income every day, the sacrificial fund, which was previously considered large, can be gradually covered.

For example, if you save Rp10,000 every day, the money will accumulate to Rp3.6 million in a year. This amount of money is more than enough to buy a goat or 1/6 of a cow to be sacrificed.
