Sacrificial Animals Go Online
Religious traditions are aligning with 21st century technology in Muslim countries including Pakistan where sacrificial animals can now be purchased online. With the Muslim festival of Eid ul Azha just days ahead, online sale of sacrificial animals is becoming a popular way of procuring animals online for sacrificial slaughter.

At the moment, there are a handful of websites that sell sacrificial animals online, including Qurbani Online dot Com (http://qurbanionline.com/), Symbios dot Com (http://www.symbios.pk/), and Bakra Online dot Com (http://bakraonline.com) that offer online purchase of animals. Like other online products for sale, sacrificial animals are listed with descriptions, images, audios, videos, and of course – prices. Customers are also allowed the opportunity to visit the store in person where the animals are kept, in case he/she wants it so.
However, the animals may be bought by just placing your order online with a few clicks. The animal is shipped to the doorstep of the customer. This seems to be the main reason behind the increasing popularity of online purchase/sale of animals. Many people do not like the stinking, dirty animal fairs or crowded markets in general, especially these days when bombing and crime is on an all-time high. The animals are sold and bought online mostly through the use of credit cards. But there is also no religious inhibition as such in buying animals online since a few Islamic scholars have already clarified that buying sacrificial animals via credit cards is not Unislamic.
In addition, a few customers have reported complete satisfaction with the quality of purchase and given the facility of comfortable transaction, sale of animals is likely to increase in the coming years.
