As Eid-ul-Adha 2025 approaches, the Sindh government has officially issued a detailed code of conduct for the collection of qurbani ki khalen (sacrificial animals hides) to maintain law and order and ensure transparency in charitable activities across the province.
According to the notification released by the provincial administration, individuals and organisations wishing to collect qurbani ki khalen (sacrificial animals hides) must obtain prior permission from the relevant Commissioner and Deputy Commissioner. Only registered welfare organisations, madaris, and charitable institutions will be eligible for official permits.
The government has also imposed a strict ban on banned outfits, prohibiting them from collecting sacrificial hides in any form. Furthermore, setting up roadside camps, displaying banners, or collecting hides without official permission has been restricted this Eid.
Officials stressed that those engaged in collecting qurbani ki khalen (sacrificial animals hides) must carry their valid permit at all times. Use of loudspeakers for announcements and placing flags on buildings related to hide collection are strictly prohibited as per the newly announced regulations.
In a move to further tighten security, all arms licenses across the province will remain suspended from 10th to 12th Zilhajj. SHOs have been given the authority to take immediate legal action against anyone found violating the new code of conduct.
The step comes amid increasing efforts by the provincial government to streamline the collection process of sacrificial animals hides and prevent misuse of charitable resources during Eid-ul-Adha. Citizens are urged to donate their qurbani ki khalen (sacrificial animals hides) only to organisations that are registered and officially permitted.
This regulation is expected to create a safer and more organised environment during the religious holiday, ensuring that sacrificial hides are used for genuine charitable causes.
