Eid al-Adha in the UK: Navigating Rules without Losing the Joy

MUHAMMADIYAH.OR.ID, UNITED KINGDOM – Indonesian Muslims in the United Kingdom (UK) celebrated Eid al-Adha 1446 AH with heartfelt joy, showing their strong connection to tradition while adapting to life abroad.

Chairperson of the Muhammadiyah Special Branch of the UK (PCIM UK), Dyah Prawesti,  shared how Indonesian communities in the UK, especially in London, continue to celebrate the holiday with community spirit despite being far from home.

“For the past two years, we’ve held the Eid al-Adha prayer at the Indonesian Islamic Center (IIC) in London. The prayer on the 10th of Dhul Hijjah is supported by many parts of the community and the Indonesian Embassy (KBRI). After the prayer, we usually gather for a friendly meet-and-greet, often attended by Indonesian officials like the Ambassador,” said Dyah on Thursday, June 5. 

The IIC itself is a shared space used by Muslims in London for religious and community events. Muhammadiyah was one of several groups involved in building and supporting it.

Outside of London, Indonesian Muslims in other parts of the UK also celebrated Eid al-Adha. Many joined local Muslim communities in cities across the country, which Dyah found to be a meaningful experience.

“There are times when I choose to celebrate Eid with local Muslim communities, and it’s always very special. Their culture is different, especially when it comes to Eid gatherings, and they’re always happy to welcome people outside their group. It’s a chance to share stories, learn from each other, and build connections.”

UK Government’s Support and Sacrifice Rules

Dyah also noted that the UK government is generally open and supportive of religious celebrations. Muslims make up about five percent of the population in London, with communities across the world. 

“There are many mosques here, and the government is quite accommodating,” said Dyah.

However, she explained that getting time off for religious holidays can be challenging due to local rules. 

“There are certain regulations about taking time off for religious events, which can be difficult to manage,” she added.

One major difference from Indonesia, Dyah pointed out, is how animal sacrifice is conducted. The UK has strict laws regarding animal slaughter.

“In the UK, you can’t do the sacrifice yourself. It must be done at a licensed slaughterhouse by certified professionals. Thus, people usually arrange the Eid al-Adha sacrifice through a halal butcher, and they receive the meat already cut and prepared.”

“Everything else about the holiday feels the same as back home, except for the sacrifice,” added Dyah.
