Islamic scholar and Zamfara State Commissioner for Religious Affairs, Sheikh Tukur Jangebe has stated that Allah does not accept Sallah rams bought with stolen money.
This was made known on Friday by the scholar while reacting to the trending video of two youths who allegedly stole rams for Sallah in an interview with The PUNCH.
Sheikh Jangebe said Allah does not reward any religious activity which is done with either stolen or looted money.
According to the scholar, if somebody steals money and buys sacrificial animal for Sallah he will not get any reward for God.
When asked in what ways can people who are too poor to afford any animal also benefit from the blessings of Sallah, Sheikh Jangebe said God knows their condition.
He added that He knows those who have the zeal to sacrifice an animal but have no money to do so; as such, He will reward them according to their intention.
