In 2024, Bank Syariah Indonesia (BRIS) Distributed 9,390 Sacrificial Animals During The Celebration Of Eid Al-Adha

PT Bank Syariah Indonesia Tbk (BSI) has distributed 9,390 healthy and safe livestock for consumption to the underprivileged communities in various regions of Indonesia during IdulAdha 1445 H.

This year, BSI has provided 9,390 livestock to be distributed to those in need in various regions of Indonesia. The distribution of livestock this year has increased by 32% compared to last year, which was 7,112 animals.

The meat is estimated to be divided into 187,800 portions, which will be packed in bamboo containers to be environmentally friendly.

BSI's President Director, HeryGunardi, stated that IdulAdha is an annual moment for BSI to distribute meat to the needy communities.

"This is in line with our commitment as a financial, social, and spiritual friend for the welfare of the society," he said in a press release on Monday (17/6).

This year, BSI collaborated with 19 national zakat institutions (LAZNAS) to provide purchasing facilities for sacrificial animals through BSI Mobile and smart funding Hasanah Card.

It is recorded that the purchase of sacrificial animals through Hasanah Card reached 185 cows and 628 goats/sheep. Meanwhile, the purchase of sacrificial animals through BSI Mobile during the period amounted to 12 cows and 966 goats/sheep.

This condition shows that the community is also aware of the option to perform online sacrifices, resulting in a more even distribution of animals throughout Indonesia. "This is the benefit of BSI Mobile, so that Muslims can perform sacrifices and the meat can be enjoyed by those in need in other regions," he added.

Furthermore, performing sacrifices through the BSI Mobile platform in collaboration with the 19 zakat institutions proves BSI's mission as a financial, spiritual, and social friend.

The distribution of sacrificial animals by BSI will be carried out in various regions of Indonesia, including Aceh, North Sumatra, Lampung, Banten, West Java, Central Java, Yogyakarta, East Java, South Kalimantan, South Sulawesi, West Nusa Tenggara, and East Nusa Tenggara.

The slaughtering of animals and the distribution to the underprivileged are done in an environmentally friendly manner.

The selection of animals has been carefully done based on the health of the animals, involving veterinarians from various institutions to provide guidance and support to farmers regarding the breeding process, feeding, and health examination of livestock. Veterinarians are also periodically involved in checking the health of sacrificial animals. In addition, the slaughterers of sacrificial animals are also taught how to properly cut the animals according to Islamic teachings.
