How is Eid al Adha celebrated in Kuwait?
In Kuwait, Eid celebrations begin with special morning prayers at mosques across the country. Families then gather to exchange the greeting “Eid Mubarak”, give “Eidiyah” (money to children from elders), and share meals.
Muslims honour Ibrahim’s devotion by sacrificing a sheep, goat, cow, or camel. For larger animals, several people may share the cost and the meat.
The sacrifice carries a charitable purpose. Families traditionally divide the meat into three portions:
- One third for the family
- One third for friends and relatives
- One third donated to the poor and needy
The rest of the day is spent visiting friends and family and swapping gifts.
