MySpaceWhat is Qurbani?
Udhiyyah: This is also known as Qurbani or sacrifice. It is Wajib upon all mature Muslims who, on the day of `Eid al-Azha, possess Nisab. Whoever qualifies for this is required to purchase a sheep or goat of more than one year in age, and slaughter that in the name of Allah after the `Eid prayer preferably on the same day. The sacrifice can also be done on the two days after Eid. If one fails to make the sacrifice in these three days he will still have to donate the value of the animal (this remains Wajib).
From the meat he may eat himself and feed his family and also distribute meat amongst the poor Muslims.
Note: One may slaughter goats or sheep, which constitute one sacrifice each, or one may slaughter a larger animal (i.e. cow or buffalo) which will be counted as seven sacrifices each. In the event of living in a wealthy country, it is better that one sacrifices one part locally to fulfill the Sunnah of sacrificing oneself; and to arrange for the remaining sacrifices to be performed in a poorer country, where the poor may also partake of it. 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. (al-Hakim, at-Tirmidhi and Ahmad)
