Eligibility Criteria to perform Qurbani

Golden Ruling of Islam:

Yes, that aligns with the principle of ease in Islam. The golden ruling in Islam is that obligations and recommended acts should not be a burden on believers. If someone cannot afford animals for Qurbani, he/she will not be committing any sin.

This principle is based on the Qur'an:

لَا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا


"Allah does not burden a soul beyond what it can bear."

 (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:286)

This demonstrates Islam’s emphasis on compassion, flexibility, and ease in worship. The Aqiqah is a Sunnah, and while it is highly recommended, it should be done within one’s means.

The Sunnah Practices for Qurbani

Qurbani, also known as Udhiya, is a sacred act of worship in Islam performed during Eid al-Adha. It revives the Sunnah of Prophet Ibrahim (AS), who submitted wholeheartedly to Allah’s command, and reflects the mercy of Allah swt in providing a ram in place of his son (pbuh).

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ himself performed Qurbani every year and encouraged all Muslims with the means to do so. He said: “Whoever can afford it but does not offer a sacrifice, let him not come near our prayer place.” (Ibn Majah)

The Sunnah practices include choosing healthy animals that meet the age and quality requirements, treating them with kindness, and ensuring the sacrifice is done in the name of Allah alone. It is recommended to personally witness the sacrifice if possible, as the Prophet ﷺ did.

The meat should be divided into three portions:

one for the family, one for relatives and friends, and one for the poor and needy.

Qurbani is not about the meat or the blood, but about the sincerity of our hearts. By fulfilling this Sunnah, we demonstrate obedience, compassion, and solidarity with those in need.

How Our Qurbani Service Works

Charity Entrust Foundation, in partnership with Qurbani House, we ensure that your Qurbani is performed ethically, in full accordance with Islamic principles, and with a focus on helping those in need.

1. Ethical Animal Selection

We carefully source animals from trusted Muslim farmers, ensuring they meet the highest standards of welfare and are slaughtered according to strict Zabiha guidelines.

2. Islamic Slaughtering Process

A local Imam oversees the Qurbani to ensure all Islamic requirements are fulfilled. Every animal is hand-slaughtered with care and adherence to Sunnah.

3. Meat Distribution to Those in Need

The fresh meat is hygienically packaged and distributed to needy Muslim families in urban areas, prioritizing those who benefit most from this act of charity.

4. Respect & Transparency

For families who request it, we provide a short video clip (excluding the slaughtering act) featuring the Imam’s recitation of the donor's name along with supplications. To uphold the dignity and privacy of recipients, we do not capture or share their images.

By choosing our Qurbani service, you not only fulfil a beautiful Sunnah but also extend your blessings to those less fortunate.

May Allah bless you and accept this act of worship.
