The Hajj pilgrimage is one of the five main pillars of Islam and must be performed at least once by every able-bodied Muslim.
The holiday which marks Ibrahim’s (Abraham) willingness to sacrifice his son for the sake of god, is celebrated by the sacrifice of a large number of animals including sheep, cows, camels and goats to be donated to the less fortunate.
