Qurbani/Udhiya: Eligibility, Rules, Nisab, And Distribution
Qurbani sacrifices are performed on what date(s) each year?
From the 10th to the 12th of Dhul-Hijjah, Muslims perform Qurbani after the Eid al-Adha prayer.
The first day of Eid al-Adha will fall on the 8th or 9th of July 2022,
depending on which year it is (dependent on the moon sighting).
You must still carry out your obligatory Qurbani after your Eid prayer,
even if you offer your sacrifice before the Eid prayer.
This is known as your Sadaqah, not your Qurbani.
‘I saw the Prophet (saw) on the Day of Nahr,’ said Jundab bin Sufyan Al-Bajali (or Eid day).
A new sacrifice should be offered in place of the one that was previously offered,
and anyone who hasn’t yet offered theirs should do so now, according to what he (saw) said. (Bukhari)
Orders for Qurbani can be placed up until the third day of Eid,
and animals will be sacrificed over the three days that follow.

How Do You Say “QURBANI/UDHIYA”?
Every financially capable Muslim is required to perform the Udhiyah (Qurbani), a deeply religious ritual,
to please Allah (SWT). We celebrate the Oneness of Allah Almighty in Udhiyah.
God’s kindness and blessings on us and on the followers of Ibrahim (AS) who will serve Allah Almighty as their guide.
To receive the pleasures of Allah requires the slaughter of sheep, cows, camels, and goats.
On the 10th of Zil Hajj and the following days, Qurbani is to be observed, but only after the Eid prayer has been offered.
QURBANI IS FOR THOSE WHO ARE ELIGIBLE (UDHIYAH)
Every Muslim who receives a monthly salary and can set aside a portion of it for the Udhiyah is required to do so.
The Qurbani is mandatory for those who can afford it.
Hasan al-Albaani in Ibn Majah, 3123, also mentions this in a hadith narrated by Ibn Maajah.
Let anyone who can afford it but refuses to make a sacrifice stay away from our places of worship.”
Both sexes, on the other hand, face the same issue.
In the case of a woman, there are no additional rules.
If a woman has children and lives alone or with them, she must, if at all possible, follow Udhiyah.
An udhiyah should be performed by each household every year”
Being a man isn’t a prerequisite for fulfilling this Qur’anic obligation.
A Sunnah’s necessity implies that it applies equally to both sexes,
so it requires the participation of both sexes.

What is QURBANI’s NISAB?
Qurbani is an optional form of worship for Muslims.
Having Udhiyah does not necessitate one to perform the Qurbani,
as there is no requirement to do so. As a result,
it is up to the individual to determine whether or not Udhiyah is within his financial means.
We’d take out loans if we only had to follow the ritual if we knew how important it was.
In the same way that we ask for loans to fund our essential projects.
Is there any set of rules that must be followed when it comes to the distribution of meat after QURBANI?
Three equal portions of the meat from the sacrificed animals should be divided up.
Friends and family should be given a portion of it (including both; non-Muslims and Muslims).
If you’re doing Qurbani with a group of people, you shouldn’t divide the meat by weight but rather by weight estimates.
The butcher’s by-products, fats, and other parts of the animal cannot be served to customers in exchange for payment.
The animal skin is yours to keep. You should, however, donate the money you make from selling it to the poor if you do so.
HOW MANY QURBANI SHOULD A FAMILY HAVE?
A farm with six peaks
Muslims should perform a single Qurbani and then divide it into three equal parts.
A Qurbani can be performed on a goat or a sheep, for example.
The sacrifice of seven people can be counted among larger animals, such as buffaloes and camels, though.
If I missed the Qurbani, what should I do now?
It is possible to make up for a missed Qurbani by sacrificing an additional
animal this year if you missed it in the previous year.
You can figure out how many animals you need to sacrifice by figuring out how many years you’ve been away.
Our team here at Muslim Hands is more than happy to assist you in this endeavor.
To make up for missing the obligatory Qurbani, you can donate one sheep/worth goat of market value to the poor.
Muslim Hands can help you with this. Qurbani Udhiya Rules Distribution
DIFFERENT FOR A QURBANI COUPLE?
Two Muslims can’t get along in a group setting.
Only one person is allowed to own a share at a time.
Sheep, goats, and other livestock can all benefit from it.
Those animals are used to feed a single person.
The husband and wife can each purchase a single share of a seven-part animal
if you choose to keep one such animal.
So that they can both benefit from the animal and play their part in it.
InshAllah, whoever donates money to help another person perform Qurbani will be rewarded for their generosity.
That, however, is a completely unrelated subject.
However, a wife can allow her husband to purchase and slaughter another whole animal on her behalf.

WOULD IT BE POSSIBLE TO HAVE A QURBANI FOR A CHILD?
Qurbani is not obligatory on a child,
nor is it obligatory on the child’s guardian,
