Reuters reported that Bangladesh Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed ordered the buffalo to be spared and the buyer was refunded.
The buffalo was also moved to the Bangladesh National Zoo in Dhaka.
"At the last moment, the decision was taken to spare the buffalo from sacrifice due to security concerns and the unusual level of public interest," a ministry official said.
The Buffalo is unusually gentle and needs careful upkeep, including frequent feeding and regular baths.
Albino buffaloes are rare in Bangladesh, where most cattle are dark, making it a standout during the peak Eid livestock season - though it was the nickname that likely saved its life.
