Give Your Qurbani
Where It's Needed Most

Qurbani (also known as Udhiya or Udhiyah) is the sacred sacrifice of an animal during Eid al-Adha to commemorate Prophet Ibrahim's (AS) willingness to sacrifice his son for Allah. The terms Qurbani and Udhiya refer to the same act of worship — Qurbani is more commonly used in South Asia while Udhiya is the Arabic term. It is obligatory (Wajib) for every Muslim who meets the Nisab threshold.

Yes — Qurbani and Udhiya (also spelled Udhiyah) are the same ritual sacrifice performed during Eid al-Adha. "Udhiya" comes from the Arabic word meaning "sacrifice at the time of forenoon," while "Qurbani" comes from the word "Qurban" meaning "nearness to Allah." Both refer to the obligatory sacrifice of a sheep, goat, cow, or camel on the days of Eid al-Adha.

Qurbani (Udhiya) must be performed during the days of Eid al-Adha: from after the Eid prayer on the 10th of Dhul Hijjah until before sunset on the 13th of Dhul Hijjah. These are known as the Days of Tashreeq.

Qurbani (Udhiya) is obligatory for every sane Muslim adult who possesses wealth above the Nisab threshold (equivalent to 87.48g of gold or 612.36g of silver) on the days of Eid al-Adha.
