What IS QURBANI?

Qurbani is a sacrifice that is offered at the time of Eid al-Adha to show gratitude towards Allah (swt) and to provide for the poor and needy. The Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.W) was once asked by his Companions: “O Prophet of Allah! What is this qurbani?” He replied, “It is the Sunnah of your father Ibrahim (A.S).” (Hadith – Ibn Majah) Allah (swt) says in the Qur’an: “It is neither their flesh nor their blood that reaches Allah; it is your piety that reaches Him.” (Qur’an 22:37) Qurbani has been performed from the time of Ibrahim (as) and commemorates also Ibrahim’s willingness to sacrifice his son, who was replaced by an animal at the time of sacrifice.

Obligations

Following is the list of obligations every Muslim needs to follow.

  • Qurbani is a religious obligation commanded to perform by Allah (SWT). 
  • Every Muslim must follow the Qurbani meat distribution rules and regulations. Qurbani must be given on the 10th, 11th, and 12th days of Dhul-Hijjah.
  • Sacrifices can only be made after the Eid prayer. Otherwise, it will not be counted. 
  • Any able Muslim should give Qurbani, especially those who have reached puberty and hold wealth above the threshold of 52.5 tolas of silver.
  • Animals for sacrifice must meet minimum age and health requirements
  • Qurbani sacrifices must be given in three shares – one for you, family or friends, and an impoverished family.

How Should Qurbani Animals Be Sacrificed?

To fulfill the rules of the Qurbani festival, slaughterers and slaughter-houses should abide by the following regulations:

  • The animal should be slaughtered with a sharp knife to avoid causing undue suffering.
  • The knife should not be sharpened in front of the animal
  • No animal should be slaughtered in the presence of another
  • It is best to sacrifice the animal yourself, but you should remain present whilst someone else offers the creature if you do not know-how. It is also necessary to say “Bismillahi Allahu Akbar” when slaughtering the animal. Slaughtered animals are not to be skinned until completely cold.

Like other countries, Pakistan also has a number of online platforms that will perform the Qurbani for you.
