仏谶Tajiks pay attention to traditional etiquette and customs when dining. There is a distinction between upper and lower seats. The elders and guests sit in the upper seats, and the others sit in a circle. In the middle, there is a meal sheet (similar to a tablecloth, but because there are no tables and chairs, it is spread on a felt or carpet). Tea and food are served according to the order of seating, and there is little laughter during the meal. If a distinguished guest from afar comes, those who have sheep will slaughter the sheep to entertain them. When slaughtering sheep to entertain guests, the host will lead the sheep to the guests and ask them to take a look. If the guests are satisfied, the sheep will be slaughtered. During the meal, the host first presents the sheep's head to the most distinguished guest. The guest cuts a piece of meat to eat, and then returns the sheep's head to the host with both hands. The host then offers the guest a piece of sheep's liver with sheep's tail oil. Then the host picks up the butcher knife with the handle facing outwards and asks a guest to share the meat. At this time, the guests often push each other or ask the host to share the meat. After the meal, everyone raises their hands at the same time to say "Duwa" (prayer) according to Islamic tradition. Everyone can get up only after the host cleans up the leftovers and takes away the meal sheet. Otherwise, it will be regarded as disrespecting the host.
