One Qurbani. One lasting impact.
Your Qurbani can help families meet urgent needs – providing essential nourishment during the days of Eid and beyond.
What is Qurbani?
Qurbani means sacrifice – the offering of livestock as an act of worship during Eid al-Adha.
It commemorates the devotion and obedience of Prophet Ibrahim (AS), who was willing to sacrifice for the sake of Allah (SWT). Through Qurbani, we honour this legacy while providing essential support to families in need.
When is Eid al-Adha 2026?
Eid al-Adha is estimated to fall on 27 May 2026, depending on the sighting of the moon.
When is Qurbani due?
Qurbani is performed after the Eid prayer on the first day of Eid al-Adha and can be carried out until the 13th of Dhul Hijjah.
Who should give Qurbani?
Qurbani is obligatory for those performing Hajj and carries great reward for those who are able to give, even if they are not on pilgrimage.
How does Qurbani work at The Zahra Trust?
At The Zahra Trust, we take orders through our website or email and coordinate with trusted local teams to carry out your Qurbani in full accordance with Shariah.
Why do Qurbani prices vary each year?
Qurbani prices are carefully set based on real-time market conditions in each country of delivery. Factors such as currency fluctuations, rising livestock costs, transportation, and local economic changes all impact pricing.
We work closely with trusted local partners to ensure that every contribution is used efficiently and responsibly. This means your Qurbani not only fulfils your religious obligation but also reaches as many families as possible – maximising impact and delivering essential nourishment where it is needed most.
How many people does a Qurbani feed?
The number of people supported depends on the type of animal:
- Sheep: approximately 9 families (45 people)
- Goat: approximately 8 families (40 people)
- Cow: approximately 90 families (around 450 people)
- Chicken: approximately 1 family (5 people)
