According to the consensus of Islamic tradition and law, offering Qurbani is a highly encouraged prophetic example to follow (sunnah mu’akkadah), while one school of thought (Hanafi) considers it an obligatory act (wājib) for every sane, adult Muslim who is able to do so.

In partnership with our local partners around the world, IDRF ensures that Qurbani meat reaches those most in need. Families are identified through a comprehensive assessment process to ensure the aid reaches the most vulnerable.

IDRF only uses 100% fresh, halal meat. We do not procure frozen meat. All meat is sourced locally from animals in the countries where Qurbani is being conducted, ensuring quality and supporting local economies.

The volume is determined based on local needs and contextual assessments. With increased donor support, IDRF is able to scale up Qurbani efforts in specific countries to meet growing demands.

Due to the scale of our global Qurbani operations, it is not feasible to call out individual donor names at the time of sacrifice. Simply giving with intention will suffice.

IDRF has a long-standing record of transparency and impact. We take a comprehensive and data-informed approach to identifying families in need and ensure your Qurbani reaches the most vulnerable. We also provide an impact report after the completion of our projects.

The time for sacrifice ends at sunset on the fourth day of Eid. Therefore, you can make Qurbani donations up until the end of the third day after Eid (13th of Dhul-Hijjah).

In the West Bank, Qurbani is performed using fresh, locally sourced meat, distributed to needy families. In Gaza, IDRF previously procured both locally sourced and frozen meat imported from Egypt (in 2024). This year, IDRF is exploring all feasible options to ensure Qurbani is delivered to families in Gaza, depending on border access and local conditions.
