Eid al-Adha is one of the most important celebrations for Muslims. Beginning with the Eid prayer and then continuing with the slaughtering of the sacrifice (qurban), the purpose of Eid al-Adha celebration is to encourage the spirit of sharing, appreciate sincerity, draw ourselves closer to the Creator and strengthen relationships with others.
Regarding the Eid al-Adha celebration, have you started to chip in to buy a qurban? Chipping in for qurban may not sound so fun when you have to collect money here and there and record who has chipped in, not to mention when some participants do not have the same bank accounts as yours.
In addition, previously you might chip in with cash. But now, it is highly recommended to have a cashless chip-in, as it is more practical and safe.
In order for a chip-in to be practical, you should try the Jago application feature called Shared Pocket. Not only practical, chipping in through a Shared Pocket is also fun.
Chipping in for Eid al-Adha Qurban through Shared Pocket
It’s extremely easy to chip in through Jago Shared Pocket. Stick to the following steps.
1. Create a Saving Pocket
Once you create a Saving Pocket, name it so you don’t mistake it for another. For example, the name of the Pocket is Qurban Pocket. Then, you can set this Pocket as a Shared Pocket.
2. Invite family or friends to the Pocket
Time to start inviting other Jago users who are willing to chip in. It is practical because the money is being transferred directly into this particular Shared Pocket. It is fun because you can set a role for each participant. For example, some can only view the money and transactions, while others can spend the money. The most exclusive role is of course, the owner, as this role can do everything.
What is more, transparency is guaranteed. You can know in an instant who has and has not chipped in.
3. Set a target together
Another fun thing about Shared Pocket that is a Saving Pocket is that you can set a saving target together. If the sacrifice is a cow, then the target must be higher than a goat or sheep.
4. Change the function of the Pocket to a Spending Pocket
When the target has been reached, it's time to buy the sacrifice. It is at this time that you can change the function of the Saving Pocket to a Spending Pocket. After that, you can transfer the money from the Pocket right away. There's no need to move the money to the Main Pocket, because each Pocket has its own account number.
