 What
is Qurbani?This is
the sacrifice as ordained upon Muslims to be given at the time of
Eid al-Adha. Every Muslim adult; male and female – as long as
possessing Nisab – are required (Wajib) to offer this
sacrifice. The rewards are the same and the benefits include feeding
the poor. Costs vary between countries, with the cheapest being
£18 for
one part.
The slaughter
of a small (domestic) grazing animal e.g. sheep, ram, goat, etc
suffices per person, and a large (domestic) grazing animal e.g. cow,
buffalo, camel, etc suffices for seven people. For many Muslims
around the world the only time they can eat meat is during the time
of Qurbani.
In addition
to it being an ordained act and a Sunnah of Ibrahim (Alayhis-Salaam)
and of all Muslims, The Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) has
said that for every hair of his/her sacrificed animal a person will
get a reward.
