“Say (O Muhammad): ‘Verily, my prayer, my sacrifice, my living and my dying are for Allaah, the Lord of the ‘Aalameen (mankind, jinns and all that exists).” [al-An’aam 6:162]
“And for every nation We have appointed religious ceremonies, that they may mention the Name of Allaah over the beast of cattle that He has given them for food. And your God is One God, so you must submit to Him Alone (in Islam)” [al-Hajj 22:34]

Qurbani: Sacrificing Animals and Sharing Meat with the Needy
Qurbani involves sacrificing an animal such as a goat, sheep, cow, or camel during the month of Dhul Hijjah. Once sacrificed, the meat is distributed to those in need. Islamic Aid ensures this meat reaches vulnerable communities across various country groups, many of whom rarely get to enjoy meat.
We strictly follow Islamic guidelines — from selecting healthy animals to ensuring the sacrifice is performed properly. By donating through Islamic Aid, your Qurbani is both meaningful and impactful.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Who is exempt from Qurbani?
People who are not mentally stable, those who have not yet reached and passed puberty, those who are travelling and are away from home (approx 40-45 KM) and those who do not possess 52.5 tolas of silver, or equalling wealth.
What are the rules for Qurbani?
Every eligible Muslim should provide one share of Qurbani and parents should provide a share in the name of their children. One small animal such as a goat or sheep is equivalent to one Qurbani share, while a cow or camel, is equal to seven shares and can be split between seven individuals.
What should be the condition of the animal for Qurbani?
The animal should not be blemished, blind, obviously sick, have a limp, undernourished or extremely weak. The animals to be slaughtered must be goats, cows or camels. For camels, it must be older than 6 years. For cows it must be older than 3 years and for goats, it must be older than 2 years.
Is there an alternate to Qurbani? I’m a vegetarian so I don’t agree with giving the money to spend on meat or the slaughter of an animal?
Being a vegetarian is a personal choice, and is permissible in Islam. Similarly eating meat is also permissible but not mandatory.
However it is obligatory for a “Muslim” to accept and submit to the Commands of Allah, in whom we believe (iman), and performing Qurbani is one the Commands of Allah as He commanded past Prophets and their people.
Ruling on eating all of the Qurbani or giving all of it in charity?
With regard to the Qurbani that you gave entirely in charity, that is acceptable according to all scholars.
However, if you ate the entire Qurbani, and did not give any of it in charity, you have to buy some meat, even if it is only in small quantity, and give it in charity to the poor, to compensate.
