14. If, for any particular reason, you wanted to, but could not, directly attend a Hajj, the festival of Eid al-Adha, or the Feast of Sacrifice, would still be a way to stay connected to the faith. On what date in Dhul Hijjah does this take place?
From Quiz Hajj and its Restrictions
Answer:
10th
Dhul Hijjah is the twelfth and final month of the Islamic lunar calendar. Its name literally means "The Month of Pilgrimage", which is intended to reflect that it is the month in which Hajj itself takes place.
Incidentally, Eid al-Adha and the start of Rami both occur/begin on the 10th of Dhul-Hijjah. This, in effect, makes it an especially iconic day for the Hajj pilgrimage, known as Yawm al-Hajj al-Akbar.
To begin, Muslims recite the takbir, or a prayer of "Allahu Akbar" roughly translating to English into "God is greater". Like on Eid al-Fitr, the Eid prayer is performed on Eid al-Adha any time after sunrise and before the Zuhr prayer. This is followed up by a sermon, and is finalized by the exchanging of gifts. For those living in the US or in a Europeanized setting, you may view this similarly to how a family may exchange gifts during Christmas.
