When Does Qurbani End? Last Day to Donate in 2026
Qurbani does not end on the first day of Eid al-Adha. In 2026, Muslims can continue offering Qurbani during the Days of Tashreeq, giving donors until sunset on the 13th of Dhul Hijjah to fulfill this important act of worship. If you still need to give your Qurbani, there is still time.
For many families around the world, Eid does not begin with celebration. It begins with uncertainty about whether there will be food on the table. Your Qurbani can still make a difference.

- First Day of Qurbani: Eid al-Adha 2026 begins on the evening of Tuesday, May 26, 2026
- Last Day to Give Qurbani: Sunset on the 13th of Dhul Hijjah
- Can You Still Donate Online? Yes, online Qurbani donations can still be made during the Days of Tashreeq

Qurbani 2026 is expected to end at sunset on Saturday, May 30, 2026 (13th Dhul-Hijjah 1447 AH). While Eid al-Adha begins around Wednesday, May 27, 2026, the sacrifice can be performed over three days (until 12th Dhul-Hijjah) or four days (until 13th Dhul-Hijjah).
The sacrifice can be performed after the Eid prayer on the 10th of Dhul Hijjah and continues through the following days of Eid. These days are known as the Days of Tashreeq and are part of the blessed days connected to Eid al-Adha.
Many people mistakenly believe Qurbani must be completed on the first day of Eid. While giving earlier is encouraged, the opportunity remains open throughout the Days of Tashreeq.
If you have not yet fulfilled your Qurbani, there is still time to complete this act of worship and help feed families in need.
What Are the Islamic Rules for Qurbani?
For eligible Muslims, Qurbani is an important obligation tied to the blessed days of Dhul Hijjah.
General Islamic Qurbani rules include:
- The sacrifice must be given after Eid prayer
- Qurbani must be completed during the Days of Tashreeq
- The animal must meet Islamic guidelines
- The meat should be distributed to those in need
- The intention should be for the sake of Allah
Many Muslims choose to fulfill their Qurbani through trusted charities so vulnerable families can receive fresh meat during Eid.
At Muslim Hands USA, Qurbani donations help deliver fresh meat to families facing poverty, food insecurity, and crisis across multiple countries.

Can You Still Give Qurbani After Eid Prayer?
Yes. Qurbani begins after the Eid prayer on the 10th of Dhul Hijjah and continues until sunset on the 13th.
These days follow some of the most beloved days in Islam, including the Day of Arafah.
That means if Eid day has already passed, you may still be able to fulfill your Qurbani during the remaining Days of Tashreeq.
This is especially important for people who:
- forgot to donate earlier
- were waiting for payday
- became busy during Eid preparations
- are giving online at the last minute
As long as the Qurbani is completed within the valid days, the sacrifice is accepted according to Islamic guidelines.

The Days of Tashreeq are the 11th, 12th, and 13th of Dhul Hijjah. These days follow Eid al-Adha and are filled with remembrance, gratitude, and worship.
They are also valid days for performing Qurbani.

- saying Takbeer
- remembering Allah
- spending time with family

Why Qurbani Still Matters After Eid Day
For many families, Eid meat is not a luxury. It may be the only time all year they are able to eat fresh meat.
Your Qurbani supports:
- widows
- orphans
- displaced families
- communities facing hunger
- families affected by conflict and poverty
In countries like Yemen, Pakistan, Mali, Niger, Senegal, and The Gambia, your donation helps bring relief during some of the most blessed days of the year.
Even during the final days of Eid, families are still waiting for support.
How Does Qurbani Distribution Help Families?
Qurbani distribution is about more than meat.
It is about dignity.
It allows families to participate in Eid with joy, nourishment, and hope. It reminds struggling communities that they have not been forgotten.
At Muslim Hands USA, Qurbani is distributed to vulnerable communities through trusted teams and partners working on the ground.
Your donation can help:

What Happens If You Miss Qurbani?
Qurbani is tied to specific days in the Islamic calendar. Once the Days of Tashreeq end, the time for Qurbani passes.
This is why many Muslims try to complete their Qurbani as early as possible during Eid al-Adha.
If you still have time remaining before sunset on the 13th of Dhul Hijjah, you can still fulfill your Qurbani and earn the reward of this sacred act of worship.
