مسلخ منى
The منیٰ slaughterhouse complex is a modern facility managed by the Islamic Development Bank's Adahi project. It processes hundreds of thousands of sacrificial animals during حج. Pilgrims purchase sacrifice vouchers (hady), and the meat is professionally processed, packaged, and distributed to the poor in Muslim countries worldwide.
Animal sacrifice has been part of حج since Prophet Ibrahim (AS). In the past, حجاج performed their own sacrifices, leading to hygiene and waste concerns. The Saudi government modernized the process by establishing central slaughterhouse facilities. The Adahi project, managed by the Islamic Development Bank, now handles the majority of sacrifices. The meat is processed under strict halal and sanitary conditions, then frozen and distributed to impoverished communities across the Muslim world.
The Hady sacrifice is a wajib (واجب) act for حج حجاج performing Tamattu or Qiran. It commemorates Prophet Ibrahim's (AS) willingness to sacrifice his son Ismail (AS) in obedience to Allah. The modern system ensures this sacred obligation is fulfilled with dignity and the meat benefits the global Muslim community.
Most حجاج no longer need to visit the slaughterhouse in person. Sacrifice vouchers can be purchased through your حج operator, banks, or the Adahi app. The sacrifice is performed on your behalf on the 10th of Dhul Hijjah (Eid al-Adha) or during the Days of Tashreeq. You will receive confirmation when your sacrifice is complete. The voucher system is more efficient and ensures the meat reaches those most in need. Prices vary based on the type of animal (sheep, goat, cow share, or camel share).
