Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – Unbelievably, after Muslims commemorate Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha will arrive in two months. This year's Eid al-Adha holiday will soon arrive, June 16 to 17 2024.
For Muslims who are financially capable, sacrificing is an obligation that must be fulfilled. However, the price of sacrificial animals often increases before the holidays.
To avoid this, it is recommended to buy sacrificial animals well in advance. However, what if you haven't purchased a sacrificial animal yet and are still improving your financial condition? Check out the explanation below.
Save per day or per week
If Eid al-Adha falls on June 16 or 17 2024, then there will be approximately two months to collect money to buy sacrificial animals. One way you can do this is by saving money every day or week.
Let's just say, the price of the sacrificial goat you want to buy is IDR 2.8 million. So make a target of saving IDR 47 thousand for sacrificial animals every day, so that by Eid al-Adha, you can buy them.
Use savings instruments or money market mutual funds to save, avoid using high-risk investment instruments or gold.
Use the savings you have to buy sacrificial animals after this month's payday
To lighten the burden of your daily expenses allocated to buying sacrificial animals, use a few percent of your idle savings.
For example, you can allocate IDR 1 million from savings and save the rest per day until Eid al-Adha arrives.
Buy from zakat, infaq and alms management institutions
Buying sacrificial animals from traders carries the risk of price increases ahead of Eid al-Adha. To anticipate this, you can purchase sacrificial animals from zakat, infaq and alms management institutions.
Generally, the price of sacrificial animals offered by these institutions will not increase. Not infrequently, they can also give you a discount, if you intend to buy it in advance.
