JAKARTA - The pandemic is increasingly encouraging the enthusiasm of people to sacrifice online. Through the Qurban feature, Tokopedia, together with a number of humanitarian agencies, have distributed hundreds of tons of sacrificial animals to remote areas in Indonesia that are less accessible on Eid al-Adha 2020 to ensure an even distribution of sacrificial meat throughout Indonesia.
"Ahead of Eid al-Adha 2021, we are again collaborating with a number of humanitarian agencies to make it easier for people to worship digitally through the Qurban feature in the Tokopedia Salam ecosystem. This is expected to help people worship from home easily, safely and reliably," said Tokopedia's Director of Public Policy and Government Relations, Astri Wahyuni.
"The Qurban feature is also expected to be able to help more people in need in various parts of the country, including orphans and poor people, as well as helping local breeders to continue to run their businesses in the midst of the pandemic," added Astri.
Welcoming Eid al-Adha which falls on July 20, 2021, Tokopedia and Baznas share a series of easy, safe and trustworthy online sacrifice tips.
1. Digital Qurban is an Alternative - According to the Head of Baznas, Achmad Sudrajat, Lc, MA, “Digital Qurbani are now a new way of carrying out sacrifices during the pandemic. In addition, it is also our effort to maintain health and avoid crowds during Eid al-Adha."
In addition to the Tokopedia application, the public can also buy sacrificial animals through traditional businesses, such as shops, stalls or individuals who are members of Mitra Tokopedia.
2. Ensure that the Sacrificial Animals are in accordance with the Shari'a - "The legal requirements for sacrificial animals include livestock such as goats with a minimum age of one year or cows at least two years old in good health," said Achmad.
3. Choose a Trustworthy Sacrificial Institution - It is important to ensure that the chosen sacrificial institution has obtained official permission from the Ministry of Religion of the Republic of Indonesia and applies good standards of qurban maintenance services and prioritizes the pillars of Islamic law in sacrificing.
"In this case, we are collaborating with trusted sacrificial institutions, including Baznas, Dompet Dhuafa, Eco Qurban, Human Initiative and Rumah Zakat in presenting the Qurban feature on Tokopedia," added Astri.
4. Payment Method According to Preference - After selecting the animal and the institution that distributes the sacrifice, the public can choose the desired payment method from dozens of options. The public can also get a discount of up to IDR 250,000 which is valid until July 23, 2021.
5. Track the Status of Sacrificial Information - Through Tokopedia Salam, all activities will be documented in detail, from checking the health of the sacrificial animal, the slaughter process to the area. Tokopedia will also send digital certificates of purchasing sacrificial animals to buyers via the notification center and email as proof.
