Fulfill Their Rights with Qurbani—The Legacy of Prophet Ibrahim (AS)

Prophet Ibrahim (AS) was commanded to sacrifice his beloved son, Ismail (AS), as an act of obedience to Allah.

In his unwavering faith, Ibrahim (AS) was ready to give up what he loved most for Allah’s pleasure.

But Allah, in His mercy, provided a ram in place of his son.

Just like Prophet Ibrahim (AS) was tested with what he loved most, we are tested too.

Tested in how we use our wealth. Tested in whether we notice our struggling neighbours.

Qurbani is about answering the call to care for those closest to us.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is my Qurbani locally distributed?

NZF Canada partners with local community organizations to ensure that Qurbani meat is distributed to the most vulnerable individuals and families in need. After your Qurbani is fulfilled, the meat is packaged in halal, hygienic conditions and delivered to those who are facing food insecurity, including low-income families, seniors, refugees, and others struggling to make
ends meet.

What do I need to do to fulfill my Qurbani obligation?

To fulfill your Qurbani obligation, simply donate the required amount for your Qurbani (e.g., $450). Once your donation is made, NZF Canada will take care of the rest. We will ensure the sacrifice is completed in a halal, ethical manner and the meat is distributed to those in need. You will receive an email notification once your Qurbani is completed.

Do I need to be present for the Qurbani sacrifice to be done?

No, you do not need to be present. Once you make your donation, NZF Canada handle the entire process of the sacrifice, packaging, and local distribution. All you need to do is donate, and we will ensure it’s carried out properly.

Can I specify who receives the Qurbani meat?

For local donations, the meat is distributed to those in need through trusted community partners. Although we can't specify individual recipients at this time, rest assured that your donation will directly help local families and individuals who are struggling with food insecurity, particularly during the holidays of Eid.

How do I know that my Qurbani has been completed?

Once your Qurbani is fulfilled, NZF Canada will send you an email notification. This will let you know that the sacrifice has been made, and the meat has been distributed to the families who need it. After receiving this email, you may proceed with cutting your nails and hair, following the Sunnah of Eid.

Is my Qurbani donation tax-deductible?

Yes, NZF Canada is a registered charity, and your donation is eligible for a tax receipt. You will
receive an official donation receipt via email, which you can use for tax purposes.

Can I donate my Qurbani on behalf of others, like my family or loved ones?

Yes, you can donate a Qurbani on behalf of your family, including your children and relatives. If someone in your household is unable to perform Qurbani themselves, you can do so on their behalf. If you are donating for multiple people, simply donate for each person individually.

Can I donate my Qurbani on behalf of others, like my family or loved ones?

What happens if I donate less than the full amount for Qurbani?

If you donate less than the required amount ($450), the donation will go towards helping provide additional meat to more families in need, but it will not fulfill your Qurbani obligation. To meet the full Qurbani requirement, you must donate the full amount.

What if I can't afford Qurbani this year?

If you cannot afford Qurbani due to financial constraints, there is no obligation to perform it. However, if you are financially able in the future, you may want to consider performing Qurbani then. Allah (SWT) rewards even small acts of charity and kindness, so if you're able, consider making a sadaqah donation in a way that fits your current circumstances. Every contribution counts, and your support helps those in need, especially during these blessed days.

When is the deadline for Qurbani donations?

Qurbani donations must be made before Eid al-Adha, preferably before the Eid prayer. Donations can be accepted up until the 13th day of Dhul-Hijjah. To ensure the timely completion of your Qurbani, it's recommended to donate as early as possible.

How is the animal selected for Qurbani?

The animals used for Qurbani are chosen based on strict guidelines to ensure they meet the religious and ethical requirements. The animals must be free of defects and meet the prescribed age requirements (e.g., at least six months for a lamb, one year for a goat). They are handled by trained professionals to ensure humane treatment and proper slaughter according to Islamic principles.
