Chief Kadhi Sheikh Ahmed al Muhdhar yesterday said Muslims who celebrated Idd-ul-Adha on Tuesday broke fundamental principles of Islamic law.

And his predecessor Sheikh Ahmad Kassim hit out at Leader of Majority in the National Assembly Aden Duale for opposing the date set by the Chief Kadhi to mark the fete.
