However, this goat died of some disease before it could be sold.

According to Islamic beliefs, goats are sacrificed in Muslim society, a practice known as Bakri Eid. Camels and rams are sacrificed in Saudi Arabia. The animal taken for this should be purchased with hard-earned money, meaning it should not be bought with ill-gotten money. Only then is the sacrifice accepted. But Qurbani also has a rich history.
