Re: PIA and black goat
Sadqa e Khairat, i think its called
The security should be provided by the management or company
Prolly its the staff own idea as they have to work in it and did it for their own baychainee
When even passenger, if given a choice, wont travel in it , one wonders how its like for the staff who had to work 24/7 on it
Re: PIA and black goat
If they did not thoroughly inspect all the necessary parts of the plane to make sure that they are working properly and that pilots are qualified to fly the plane and only relied upon sacrificing the goat to ward off calamities, then I don’t think that’s right.
However, if they did inspect all parts of the plane and took all the necessary precautions ..And after that if they decided to sacrifice a goat as sadaqah…I don’t find it particularly amusing. I do, however, think that the sacrifice could have been done elsewhere and not necessarily on the airport grounds.
I’ve never heard anything about black goats being specifically used to ward off the evil eye. I have heard of gosht/meat being given as sadaqah and I’ve heard that this is an effective form of sadaqah in warding off calamities…and if the poor or even animals can eat from the slaughtered meat…than that’s a benefit for them.
The article said that Muslims believe slaughtering a black goat brings “good luck”…uhmm…since when? I’ve never heard of this. Luck implies “chance” and we don’t believe in that. We believe in putting effort, taking your precautions, and leaving the outcome to Allah. Yes, we give sadaqah to ward off calamities…and the sadaqah we give whether it is in the form of money or food benefits Allah’s creation…it benefits the poor, the needy, even animals.
Now what’s really ridiculous or deserving of mockery are folks that believe carrying a rabbit’s foot or wearing a certain shirt before a test or a game or a trip…will bring them “luck.” That “lucky” object brought no far-reaching benefits to anyone. Alhumdolillah if a Muslim even gives sadaqah…he takes Allah’s name before doing so…and does it for His sake…and it doesn’t go to waste nor is it futile like throwing salt over your shoulder or carrying a rabbit’s foot, etc etc.
As for warding off evil eye…there are surahs that can be recited. As for sadaqah…nothing funny about that…but it could have taken place away from airport tarmac as I think it would be more convenient that way. And precautions are a must.

Its been covered and highlighted all over on international media, as a mockery ofcourse
Black Goat Sacrificed On Airport Tarmac By Pakistani Airline Employees : Goats and Soda : NPR
Its so embarassing
Re: PIA and black goat
There have got to be other bigger happenings in the world to get so worked up about. Really, it’s not something to feel sooooooo humiliated about. Sadaqah in and of itself is a good thing; it’s nothing to be ashamed about. It’s just that they did not make the wisest decision in choosing airport grounds to perform the act.
This goat that was slaughtered will …I’m guessing and hoping…feed people who are needy. It’s meat will be of benefit to several people. Think about the innocent children that are being slaughtered in war-ridden countries, for instance. In whose name are such crimes committed? Such events are the ones that should bring about feelings of shame and grief on an international level and deserve greater media attention…because such acts are a heinous sin.
But sacrificing a goat for charity…is not a gunnah…it’s not a sin…it does not tear at the moral fabric of society. It was simply not the wisest decision in terms of “execution” (now there’s a pun).
When the world is jeering at Islam…Muslims should at least be balanced or reasonable in their feelings or reactions to something…even in reactions of embarrassment or discomfort. When the person in front of you already holds you in contempt…and you start putting your own self down…really really down…then the person will only give you a harder time.
The location of the sadaqah can be disapproved of. But again, it’s not something that one should react to in an extreme way. In the rest of the world there is open bay-hayaai taking place on stages during events that happen so frequently…and here you have a first-time act of charity being done at an airport…(that most likely won’t happen again ) and it’s getting people extremely embarrassed and upset.
With time…some other event will grasp the world’s attention and this goat slaughter will pale in comparison and be temporarily forgotten.
Re: PIA and black goat
This reminds me of pagan tradition before Prophet Mohammad, when pagans used to sacrifice animals for getting their prayers accepted by ‘lat, manat and uzha’ the female gods. bhai apnay mulk ko thik karo, bakray qurban karnay se kuch nahin hoga.
Re: PIA and black goat
Likely have reason to do it at the place they choose to do
Finding it far more embarrassing/ disturbing at those who took this issue to media
Accept that many now there don’t have much cultural or Islamic knowledge but making a mockery wasn’t that common
Normal for the non paki media to make an issue out of it as it’s foreign
