3. QURBANI ANIMAL DEFECTS – WHAT MAKES A SACRIFICE INVALID?
Your Qurbani animal must be healthy and without defects. We ensure each animal is inspected by the local team for signs of illness or injury, including:
- Any visible eye defects, such as blindness or the loss of one-third of eyesight.
- Sickness or wounds that affect the animal’s health.
- Lameness.
- Undernourishment to the point where you wouldn’t usually consider buying the animal.
4. PERMITTED DAYS: WHEN SHOULD QURBANI BE PERFORMED?
Qurbani must be performed within three days – starting from the Eid prayer until sunset on the 12th of Dhul Hijjah.

- Step 1: Choose your Qurbani option and complete your payment online.

7. WHAT IS THE RIGHT AMOUNT TO SPEND ON QURBANI?
Qurbani should be offered sincerely with trust in Allah (SWT). If your funds are in short supply this year, choose a sacrifice within your means.
Those who are able may choose to give more. Consider doubling your sacrifice, following the Sunnah of the Sahaba. And Allah (SWT) knows our intentions best.
