BISHKEK - "Businessmen and officials have big-show funerals, and the Shariah [Islamic law] does not condone that," said Mufti Rakhmatylo Eghemberdiev, head of the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of Kyrgyzstan.
"According to Shariah, wastefulness is a sin: Allah forbade it. Besides the stress after a relative's death, people are also faced with the stress of how to afford horses to slaughter."
