Al Sumait added that the association has allocated the budget for the sacrifice project for the year 2019 to purchase and equip the sacrifices long before the season, and it aims through this early preparation to ensure the purchase of the finest sacrifices and review their compatibility with the legal controls of the sacrifice, then sponsor them by aid and transfer them to the areas designated for implementation that the association is keen to be Distant or poor areas that do not receive aid at the time of the slaughtering of sacrifices and distributing them to feel the joy of the feast by tasting meat, indicating that the number of sacrifices that have been prepared so far has reached 28 thousand sacrifices, and about seven hundred thousand people benefit from the poor, widows and people with special needs in Countries in which direct aid operates.
Stressing that the impact of the sacrifice on the beneficiaries is much greater than the impact of a meal, it realizes the meanings of the Islamic religion from promoting the values of solidarity, solidarity and compassion among Muslims, and the beneficiaries receive it with joy and eagerness to sense these meanings.
Al-Sumait said that the association acts on behalf of the donor in buying the sacrifice and slaughtering it, and that it successfully manages a special endowment for sacrifices of 400 Kuwaiti dinars through which an annual sacrifice is allocated to the owner of the endowment.
Al-Sumait affirmed that what distinguishes the sacrifice project at the Aoun Association is direct execution without intermediaries, which confirms that the sacrifice reaches its deserved people quickly and securely.
It also started months ago its preparations for the Hajj campaign for 2019, and Sumait added: The number of pilgrims that the association intends to send to perform the Hajj pilgrimage this year is 232 pilgrims.
Al-Sumait affirmed that the choice of pilgrims is based on a deliberate strategy based on the selection of personalities with societal influence, such as the sultans and tribal elders, in support of their social status, in addition to imams, preachers and preachers, with the selection of a number of women, all of whom are unable to perform the Hajj at their own expense.
Stressing that the Hajj sponsorship project is an important tool for spreading the true Islamic religion across the brown continent, where these local leaders have an important impact on their tribes and a strong reason for their guidance and their conversion to Islam. For us, the pilgrimage is just a journey of faith. For those pilgrims from Africa, it is a change in the entire way of life, which contributes to the Islamization of large numbers of those tribes and societies.
