Charity Ban Mars Eid In Netherlands

Al-Aqsa used to distribute scarified meat among the poor

By Khaled Shawkat, IOL Holland Correspondent

ROTTERDAM, January 31 (IslamOnline.net) - After the banning of their trusted Al-Aqsa Charity by the Dutch government, Muslims in the Netherlands are seeking assistance to distribute their charity during this year’s Eid Al-Adha.

In tandem with other charities, Al-Aqsa used to raise funds and give them to the needy in several Muslim countries, including occupied Palestine.

In April, the Dutch interior minister decided to freeze Al-Aqsa bank accounts, forcing Muslims to seek other organizations to fill the vacuum.

The authorities have failed to day to substantiate the ban, claiming they have classified evidence linking the charity to “terrorist organizations”.

The charity supervisors categorically denied the accusations and challenged the authority to make public any evidence in their possession.

Al-Aqsa used to supervise a large number of charity projects in the Palestinian territories, catering for thousands of poor families.

One of its many projects, Eid Gifts, supplies the poor and needy with sacrificed meat in Eid Al-Adha.

Several charities in the Netherlands and Belgium urged every two Muslims to share the meat of one sacrificed animal and give the money allocated for the second to the poor.

A sacrificial animal sells at between 300 and 400 euros this year.

Muslims are also keen on performing Eid prayers in mosques before spending the vacation with their families.
