Description

Family celebrations (circumcisions, weddings) were numerous this year, especially in Blida, Algiers, Médée, etc. This report points out the excessive expenditure (in particular the custom of the “taoussa”: each participant in the celebration gives a sum of money) for these celebrations of certain families, which lead to a waste of foodstuffs for the community. Many Muslims suggest curbing these expenses by limiting the number and duration of parties.
