What is Qurbani?

Qurbani (Arabic: قربانى), also known as Udhiyah (Arabic: أضحية) is the ritual sacrifice of an animal performed on the 10th day of Dhul Hijjah, known as Eid al-Adha. This day marks the culmination of the Hajj pilgrimage and is an occasion of immense spiritual significance.

Who needs to perform Qurbani?

The obligation of Qurbani rests upon every sane, mature Muslim who possesses the necessary wealth that surpasses the Nisab threshold, the minimum amount upon which Zakah becomes obligatory. It is a responsibility incumbent upon those who are not currently travelling (Musafir).

Where will the meat be distributed?
