Families Helped by Qurbani

Every year, during the day of Eid al-Adha, your Qurbani reaches communities around the world who would otherwise struggle to afford even a basic meal. Through your kindness, vulnerable families are able to receive fresh meat on the day of Eid, bringing joy, relief and dignity to those living in hardship.

Qurbani is more than just the sacrifice of an animal. It is a powerful means to support those in need. The meat from the Qurbani is shared with those in need, reminding the Muslim community of our responsibility to care for those around us.

Qurbani for a Family

When you give Qurbani for a family, you are helping a household that could be facing food insecurity to receive a vital source of nutrition during the day of Eid. The donation you make can ensure that a parent can feed their child on the day of Eid, allowing them to celebrate and be part of this joyous occasion. It also has the means to bring a community together through sharing and compassion.

It has been narrated that the Messenger of Allah (Peace be Upon Him) has said, “A human does no action on the day of sacrifice more beloved to Allah than spilling blood.”

It goes without saying that the act of Qurbani has a deep notion of reward behind it, along with having its benefits in feeding the ones in need.

How Much Qurbani Per Family?

So, how much Qurbani per family is required? Qurbani is a responsibility that lies on every individual who can afford to do it. Each person must offer their own Qurbani, which can be fulfilled through one small animal such as a sheep or goat.

For animals that are larger, such as a cow, buffalo, or camel, one animal can be shared between up to seven people. Each share would count as one Qurbani, which is an easier option for families to contribute together.

Qurbani for Whole Family

Though each adult is responsible for their own Qurbani, it is permissible to give an additional Qurbani on behalf of others, including loved ones who are no longer with us.

Giving Qurbani for the whole family allows the impact to be greater, helping more families in need, along with gaining a greater reward for it. It’s a meaningful way to bring a household together through giving and compassion.

The Impact on Families in Need

For families who receive Qurbani, the impact is almost immediate. These families live in conditions where meat is a luxury, which they rarely experience, and so your donation is what can provide essential nutrition that can support their wellbeing.

Beyond the aspect of food, Qurbani is what restores hope. It can remind a family in need that they are not forgotten, and that the wider Muslim community is there for them.

Why Your Qurbani Matters

When you give your Qurbani through Orphans in Need, you can be satisfied with knowing that the meat of your sacrificed animal is going to reach the most vulnerable families around the world. Your support is what will help deliver food to those facing food poverty and hardship.

Your Qurbani donation will not only fulfil your religious duty, but it will also become a source of relief and a moment of joy for the families who need it most. Donate your Qurbani today.
