Deputy Vice-Chancellor Maulana Abdul Khalique said guidelines in "ahkame idul zuah (concept of sacrifice), an instruction book brought out by the seminary, say that Muslims should avoid slaughtering cows wherever it is banned.
To respect the law and in view of feelings of Hindus, he said cow slaughter should be avoided as it does not have any added significance in the rituals.
"Other cattle can be used for scarifice so as not to breach the law," he said.
Id-ul-Adha will be celebrated on November 17.

It is a welcome call against cow slaughtering. But what about male calf and oxen is there any lawful position for other times ? As in present time with high mechanization their utility is much reduced up to Zero. Any Thought ?
Happy Bakr-id. This is a great step towards friendly Hindu-Muslim relations. Let Islamic religious bodies act without political parties misleading them. There are some political parties that sustain their existence only if Hindus and Muslims are divided. Appreciate Darul-uloom deoband
Its a welcome step and Darul Uloom should go ahead and ban sacrificing any animal on a pious Islamic festival. Its a superstitious practice and inhumane. How can any god be appeased if one of his beautiful creations is killed?
Times are changing and such measures will go a long way for a grand national unity.
The instruction of Darul Uloom is a right step in the direction of communal harmony in the country. Its actiou is highly appreciated and reciprocated. I wish the Muslims all the best on their holy festival and request them to take more & more initiatives to integrate in to the Indian society. Voluntary ban of cow slaughter by teh Indian Muslims go a long way in unity & integrity of the country. This is a step to live like Indians & not as someone belonging to a particular religion.
Thats a welcome initiative to foster communal harmony in our country..Being a hindu i really appreciate this gesture from our muslim brothers.happy bakrid
VERY GOOD INITIATIVE. IT SHOULD BE APPRECIATED AND ALSO RECIPROCATED BY HINDUS.
