On Eid al-Adha, many families call on an experienced butcher (gzar) who comes to the home. He performs the sacrifice according to the rite, then prepares the carcass, with respect for the animal and hygiene rules.

Depending on what you agree with the worker, the job can include the sacrifice, skinning, carcass preparation, setting aside the skin and offal and an initial rinse of the area. Cutting the meat and singeing heads and feet are separate services.
