We distribute freshly slaughtered, halal meat from cows, sheep, and goats.

By forging relationships with reputable local farmers, we ensure animals have undergone regular veterinary checkups, are disease-free, and live in hygienic conditions where they are given adequate nutrition, shelter, and water.

One Qurbani equals sacrificing a goat or sheep, or a share in a larger animal, like a cow. Both options are of equal value.

Typically, one Qurbani is offered for every family member -- some scholars deem it unnecessary to offer Qurbani on behalf of babies and children so it’s best to check with your Imam.

1 Sheep or Goat = 1 Qurbani

1 Cow = 7 Qurbani shares (One Qurbani share equals 1/7th of the cow.

Yes, you can specify which animal you would like to use for your Qurbani/Udhiyah.

When offering Qurbani/Udhiyah, it is Sunnah not to cut your hair or nails. Prophet Muhammad (saw) said:

“When the ten days (of Dhul Hijjah) begin, and one of you intends to offer a sacrifice, then let him not cut his hair or nails until he has offered the sacrifice.”
(Sahih Muslim 1977)

It is also recommended to fast on the first day of Arafah.

At Muslim Hands, Qurbani/Udhiyah is performed with the donor's intention in mind, which is the key requirement for the sacrifice to be valid. We do not verbally mention each donor’s name at the time of sacrifice. Islamically, the intention is what validates this act.

Unfortunately, we do not provide this service locally.

You can make up for any missed Qurbanis by either sacrificing an extra animal on the days of Eid al-Adha or by donating the market value of the animal to the poor and needy.

While you cannot select specific villages, you have the option to select the country where your Qurbani/Udhiyah meat will be distributed.

It is permitted to distribute Qurbani meat to non-Muslims, including relatives, neighbors, or those in need. It has been mentioned in the Holy Qur’an: “Eat the cattle and feed the needy and poor.” (Surat al-Hajj: 28)

It is strongly encouraged that the person who offers Qurbani does not cut his hair or nails, starting from the first day of Dhul-Hijjah up until after the sacrifice. The Prophet (saw) said, ‘When the ten days (of Dhul-Hijjah) start, and one of you intends to sacrifice, then let him not cut his hair or his nails.’ (Muslim)

Yes, a 20% administrative fee is applied for Qurbani/Udhiyah services. This helps cover essential costs such as transportation, meat processing, labour, packaging, and the coordination required to ensure your Qurbani/Udhiyah reaches those most in need.

Our 100% Delivery Promise ensures that your Qurbani/Udhiyah is carried out in full accordance with Islamic guidelines. It also guarantees that the sacrifice will be completed on time and delivered to those most in need during Eid al-Adha.

At Muslim Hands, we will process your contributions up until Eid morning and allocate Qurbani/Udhiyah funds over the three days of Eid Al-Adha. You can make your Qurbani/Udhiyah donations up to a month in advance. If you would like to give your Qurbani/Udhiyah in a certain location, we advise you to make your donation as soon as possible. 

Qurbani/Udhiyah takes place after Eid al-Adha salah. If it is performed before Eid salah, this is counted as a Sadaqah, and you will still need to perform Qurbani/Udhiyah after the Eid prayer.

When making your donation, ensure that you provide the names of all those you are donating on behalf of. For example, one should say “Bismillah, Allahu Akbar. Oh Allah (swt), this is from You and for You on behalf of the name of donor(s).” After the sacrifice is made, one should say, “Oh Allah accept this from the name of donor(s).”

It is strongly encouraged that the person who offers Qurbani/Udhiyah does not cut his hair or nails, starting from the first day of Dhul-Hijjah up until after the sacrifice.

Sick or defected animal cannot be offered as Qurbani/Udhiyah. Animals must be healthy and are carefully selected for this ritual.

Prophet Muhammad (saw) said: “There are four (types of animals) which are not permissible for sacrifice: the one-eyed whose defect is obvious, the sick whose sickness is evident, the lame whose limp is obvious, and the emaciated that no one would choose.”
(Sunan Abu Dawood 2802, Sahih)

The number of people that can be fed through your Qurbani/Udhiyah depends on the animal that is sacrificed.

Goat or Sheep: Typically yields 18–20 kg of meat.

Cow or Buffalo: Typically yields 120–150 kg of meat.
