What is Qurbani/Udhiyah?
Qurbani and Udhiyah refer to the same act of sacrifice performed during Eid al-Adha. Qurbani, commonly used in Urdu and Persian, translates to “sacrifice,” while Udhiyah is the Arabic term specifically used for the animal offered during this time.
The sacrifice is carried out between the 10th and 12th of Dhul-Hijjah, following the tradition of Prophet Ibrahim (AS).
The meat is then shared in three parts:
• One third for those in need
• One third for family, friends, and neighbours
• One third for your own household
How does Muslim Hands select recipients of Qurbani?
Our teams work closely with local communities to identify those most in need. Recipients are selected based on clear criteria including economic hardship, vulnerability, and lack of access to fresh meat. Your Qurbani is delivered with care, dignity, and compassion where it will make the greatest impact.

The Prophetic Qurbani
‘The Prophet (saw) sacrificed for the one who could not sacrifice from his Ummah, one who bore witness to the Oneness of Allah and [his] Prophethood’
[Ahmad]
The Prophet (SAW) would offer an extra Qurbani/Udhiyah on behalf of those who could not afford it, allowing more people to share in the blessings of Eid.
Revive this beautiful Sunnah by giving a second Qurbani/Udhiyah, doubling your impact and feeding more families during these blessed days.
Can I Give Qurbani on Behalf of Someone Who Has Passed Away?
Yes, and it's a beautiful act of ongoing charity (Sadaqah Jariyah). Giving Qurbani for a deceased loved one allows your donation to honor their memory while helping vulnerable families enjoy the blessings of Eid.
It’s one of the most heartfelt ways to give: for a parent, grandparent, friend, or anyone you wish to remember. Your sacrifice brings hope in their name.
When Should I Give My Qurbani for Eid al-Adha 2026?
Giving your Qurbani early helps ensure your sacrifice is accepted and delivered on time. At Muslim Hands USA, we prepare for Eid weeks in advance, sourcing healthy, eligible animals and coordinating fresh meat distribution to crisis-hit communities.
Donating early also means your Qurbani is prioritized during the days of Eid al-Adha, which is when the sacrifice must be performed according to Islamic guidelines.
Don't wait. Ensure your Qurbani reaches those who need it most, on time and with dignity.
Will I receive a receipt or feedback once my Qurbani is complete?

We ensure the sacrifice is carried out during the blessed days of Eid, following all Islamic guidelines. To fully honor the tradition, it’s encouraged that donors avoid cutting their hair or nails from the start of Dhul-Hijjah until their Qurbani is complete.

According to the Hanafi school, any adult, sane Muslim who possesses wealth above the Nisab value must give a Qurbani. So if you are eligible to pay Zakat, you need to offer a Qurbani.
Yes, giving Qurbani is wajib (obligatory) for every adult Muslim who is financially able, meaning they possess wealth above the Nisab threshold. Performing your Qurbani sacrifice during Eid al-Adha is an important act of worship and a way to share your blessings with families facing hunger.
‘The Prophet (saw) sacrificed for the one who could not sacrifice from his Ummah, one who bore witness to the Oneness of Allah and [his] Prophethood’. [Tabarani and Ahmad]
After fulfilling his personal obligation, the Prophet (saw) gave an additional Qurbani in the name of the Muslims who could not afford to do so. We encourage all of our donors to revive this forgotten Sunnah and help more needy people.
Eid al-Adha, also called the Festival of Sacrifice, is one of the most sacred days in Islam.

Qurbani is an obligation on all Muslims who possess wealth above the Nisab value - so if you are eligible to pay Zakat, then you must give a Qurbani.
This annual sacrifice also carries the great meaning of representing the sacrifice that Prophet Ibrahim (as) was prepared to make in honour of our Creator.
Most people choose to donate in the days of Dhul Hijjah, but some will give their Qurbani up to a month before Eid al-Adha. This year, Eid al-Adha 2026 in the USA is expected to begin on the evening of Tuesday, May 26, 2026, with the main celebration on Wednesday, May 27, 2026
As Qurbanis in each location have a set quota, we suggest you give yours as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.
We only use animals that meet all Islamic guidelines:
- Goats and sheep: At least 1 year old
- Cows and bulls: At least 2 years old
- Camels: At least 5 years old
Each animal is healthy, ethically raised, and locally sourced with care.
We choose the sacrificial animals based on their availability and value in each location. Whether this is a sheep, goat or a share in a cow, the reward for your Qurbani will be the same.
Muslim Hands works hard to ensure that the meat from your Qurbani is distributed to those in need during the days of Eid al-Adha.
Our ‘Where Most Needed’ option ensures that your Qurbani reaches those who need it most on the days of Eid.
One share per eligible Muslim.
- 1 goat or sheep = 1 share
- 1 cow or bull = 7 shares (shared among 7 people)
- 1 camel = 7 shares
You may give more shares as extra acts of worship or in memory of a loved one.
You’ll receive a confirmation email after Eid al-Adha. Our 100% Qurbani Promise ensures your sacrifice is carried out on the correct days and the meat is distributed fresh to families in need. You can also follow our live updates on social media.
No. Qurbani must be fulfilled with a separate intention and cannot be performed using Zakat. Optional Sadaqah may be used to help others fulfill their Qurbani, but not for your own obligation.
The final deadline is the third day of Eid al-Adha, but we strongly recommend donating earlier. This helps ensure your Qurbani is performed within the Islamic window and reaches those most in need on time.
You must make up for missing the Qurbani by offering the market value of one sheep/goat to the poor. You can do this through Muslim Hands.
