When Is Qurbani 2025? Dates, Meaning, and When to Give for Eid al-Adha

Qurbani is more than a ritual, it’s a moment of devotion, remembrance, and mercy. But when is Qurbani 2025, and how do you make sure your sacrifice counts? 

Let’s walk through what you need to know. 

What Is Qurbani in Islam? 

Qurbani, also known as Udhiyah, is the act of sacrificing an animal during Eid al-Adha. It honors the legacy of Prophet Ibrahim (AS), who was willing to sacrifice his son in complete submission to Allah. In return, Allah replaced his son with a ram marking this act of worship for generations to come. 

This sacrifice is a reminder of faith, obedience, and the importance of sharing with those in need. 

How Much Does Qurbani Cost in 2025? 

At Muslim Hands, Qurbani is made simple and impactful.

We handle the entire process — from sourcing healthy animals to performing the sacrifice and distributing fresh, halal meat to families in need during Eid al-Adha.

This sacred act not only fulfills your religious duty but also brings joy and nourishment to those who need it most. And with our 100% Qurbani Promise, you can give with complete confidence.

When Is Eid al-Adha 2025? 

Eid al-Adha 2025 is expected to begin on Friday, June 6, 2025, depending on the sighting of the moon. The exact date may vary slightly based on your location, so be sure to check with your local mosque closer to the time. 

Qurbani can only be carried out during three specific days known as the Days of Tashreeq: 

• 10th Dhul Hijjah (Eid day) 

• 11th Dhul Hijjah 

• 12th Dhul Hijjah 

Performing a Qurbani before or after these dates does not fulfill the obligation. 

When Should I Give My Qurbani 2025? 

The short answer: as early as possible. 

Many people wait until Eid day to give their Qurbani, but when you donate early, especially through a charity, you're giving their team the time to prepare, carry out the sacrifice during the correct days, and deliver fresh meat to families on time. 

At Muslim Hands USA , we begin preparations well in advance. Early donations allow us to: 

• Select healthy, eligible animals 

• Coordinate timely slaughter during the three Eid days 

• Ensure families in need receive fresh, not frozen meat 

Waiting until the last-minute risks missing the reward. Early giving ensures your Qurbani is complete and accepted. 

What Is the 100% Qurbani Promise? 

Since 1993, Muslim Hands has been helping donors give Qurbani the right way. We follow Islamic guidelines at every step — from sourcing the animal to performing the sacrifice and distributing meat to families in need.

Last year, your Qurbani reached communities across several countries, including Pakistan, Yemen, Mali, Niger, and India.

Your sacrifice can bring joy and nourishment to families who would otherwise go without during Eid al-Adha.
