What is Qurbani?
It is the Islamic ritual of sacrificing an animal, typically a goat, sheep, or cattle during the Eid al-Adha festival. It commemorates the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim (AS) to sacrifice his son Ismail (AS) as an act of obedience to God’s command. The meat from the sacrificed animal is then distributed among family, friends, and the needy.
How does the process of Qurbani work?
- The animals are bought locally to sustain local farmers, reduce transport costs and any other costs.
- Place your order in your own name or on behalf of another with MWF
- Working in the most impoverished regions of the world in South Asia, East Africa and the Middle East.
- Send Qurbani to a family in need
- You can be sure that Fresh Meat is delivered during the three days of Eid.
Who is Qurbani WAJIB upon? (According to Hanafi Fiqh)
It is Obligatory upon every sane, mature Muslim man and woman who meet the financial threshold. Simply anyone who is able to give Zakat should give Qurbani.
How does MWF select its animals for Eid-ul-Adha?
We have a team of expert local farmers and Islamic scholars who ensure your Qurbani is performed according to Shariah (Islamic law). The animals are bought from various farmers and are bought in advance, looked after and then sacrificed. You can choose the animal which you want to sacrifice:
- A cow or buffalo (which is divided into 7 parts, this is the minimum size of an animal as per shariah)
- A goat and sheep.
We ensure the animal is healthy and meets all the requirements of Islamic law.
How is Qurbani programme performed?
MWF holds various collective Qurbani points across its areas of implementation; we have thousands of experience volunteers who spend their Eid days ensuring fresh meat reaches the poor:
- As soon as Eid prayers have been offered, our expert team oversees the beginning of the process of animals’ sacrifice.
- Meat is packed into bags and then delivered to location in which our field officers distribute meat to their local community.
- The second and third day of Eid-ul-Adha is in which we mainly distribute Qurbani meat to the beneficiary.
Do you need to give names when giving Qurbani?
It is permissible and rewarding according to Prophetic traditions.
In a Hadith narrated by Sayyiduna Jaabir (May Allah be pleased with him) he reports that he read Eid-ul-Adha Prayer with the Prophet (Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). After the Prayer a ram was bought to the Prophet (Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) which he sacrificed. As he did so he pronounced ‘In the name of Allah; Allah is the greatest. O Lord! This sacrifice is from myself and from whoever has not made a sacrifice from my Ummah’. (Musnad Ahmad ibn Hanbal).
So according to Prophetic traditions you can give Qurbani on behalf of loved one and those that have passed away. MWF includes all the names in a collective prayer.
How does MWF distribute Qurbani meat to the poor and needy?
Minhaj Welfare Foundation assess the local situation on the ground, we provide meat to the following:
- Orphans
