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.

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.

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.

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.
