Sponsor an Orphan
Helping orphan children live a happier and healthier life from just £30.
It is one of the obligatory acts of Hajj, the Fifth Pillar of Islam. Being a mandatory act, there is much to know about the Qurbani rules.
The word Qurbani means ‘offering’ and is the ritual of sacrificing an animal, usually a goat, sheep, cow, or camel, during the month of Dhul Hijjah, the 12th and final month of the Islamic calendar. The practice of Qurbani is a recognition of the sacrifice made by the Prophet Ibrahim (AS), who was willing to sacrifice his son for the sake of Allah (SWT).
Every year, to commemorate their sacrifice, every non-disabled Muslim is expected to provide a Qurbani donation in three shares: one to help those living in poverty, one to feed friends and family, and one to keep for themselves.
Traditionally, Qurbani donations are made in the form of a sacrifice, but due to the law of the land in countries like the UK, where only certified people and establishments can carry out the animal slaughter, many people now donate Qurbani online. Here at Orphans in Need, we accept Qurbani donations, which we use to provide animals to communities in need.
We understand the importance of quality sourcing from hard-working farmers, and we work closely with our partners to ensure that Qurbani animals are raised healthily and according to Qurbani rules. Our teams on the ground will ensure every needy family can enjoy a nutritious meal for Qurbani Eid 2024 with their share of the Qurbani donation.
If you are to make a monetary Qurbani donation, the amount you pay will be influenced by several factors. First of all, some animals are more expensive than others (i.e., a cow will cost more in the way of a donation than a goat.) Secondly, a person might choose to give Qurbani on behalf of someone else, like a deceased relative, and this will require more money.
Qurbani 2024 prices will be confirmed closer to the time.
There are strict rules surrounding who must perform Qurbani. The following group of people is liable to make the sacrifice/donation:
Eid al-Adha is the second of the Eid celebrations and is celebrated on the 10th day of Dhul Hijjah, lasting three to four days, depending on the location. The Qurbani Eid 2024 is expected to fall on the evening of Sunday, 16 June but is dependent on the sighting of the moon. Eid celebrations are a time for family and friends to come together, eat delicious food, and, as with Eid al-Fitr, make dedicated Eid prayers and wear special clothes in celebration of the day.

Every year, your UK Qurbani donations online help provide quality meals to thousands of families in need and living in poverty; this year, we want to help even more people to enjoy their Eid celebrations. Qurbani prices for 2024 will be confirmed closer to the time.
Giving meat to the less fortunate, as required during Qurbani, spreads happiness so they may also enjoy the event, celebration, and festivities of Eid al-Adha.
As a UK Qurbani charity, we recognise that many families living in abject poverty will not have the means to participate in Qurbani. With your help, we will carefully select an animal and distribute the meat locally to our needy widows and orphans. We always ensure that the meat is sourced locally, meaning that the benefit of your donation is not only felt by the families you’re supporting but by their local communities too.
(Please note: a large animal is made up of seven shares, therefore can be carried out for seven different people. In India, a large animal refers to a buffalo.)
Donate your Qurbani online to our charity for UK Qurbani and make this Eid a time of great delight for our widows and orphans.
