With Dhul Hijjah approaching, the sacred duty of Qurbani 2026 returns.
For over 40 years, Al Mustafa Welfare Trust has delivered your Qurbani to families who need it most, across Gaza, Yemen, Sudan, Lebanon and beyond. Infact, the same communities facing hardship and still waiting for relief.
The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said:
“For every hair of the Qurbani, you receive a reward from Allah (SWT).”
Tirmidhi
Qurbani is more than an annual ritual. It is a sacred obligation and a chance to bring a relief to those who need it most. During last Eid ul Adha, your Qurbani reached 3.1 million people across 21 countries, delivered fresh meat, dignity, nourishment, and joy on a day that matters most.
This year, Qurbani starts from just £25. So, choose your animal and choose your country. From a single share to a full sacrifice, and from Africa to Asia and the Middle East, decide where your Qurbani will make the greatest impact, and we’ll deliver it to those who need it most.
Ramadan showed what your giving can do. Now let your Qurbani Donation carry that mercy forward.
Qurbani is the sacred act of sacrificing an animal during Eid al Adha. Performed on the 10th, 11th, and 12th days of Dhul Hijjah, it commemorates the devotion of Prophet Ibrahim (AS), who was willing to sacrifice his son Ismail for the sake of Allah Almighty.
It is neither their flesh nor their blood that reaches Allah; it is your piety that reaches Him.”
(Al-Quran 22:37)
Who Needs to Give Qurbani?
Qurbani is Wajib (obligatory) for every sane adult Muslim who possesses wealth equal to or above the Nisab threshold, the same eligibility criteria as Zakat. Those who are not of sound mind are exempt from this obligation.
Which Animals are Eligible?
The eligible animals for Qurbani are goats, sheep, cows, buffaloes, and camels. All must meet specific age and health requirements to be valid. A sheep or goat must be at least one year old and counts as one person's share, while a cow or camel must be at least two years old and can cover seven shares.
What is the Prophetic Qurbani?
Our Beloved Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) gave two Qurbanis every year, one on his own behalf, and one for those unable to give. By giving a Prophetic Qurbani, you revive this beautiful Sunnah and multiply your reward in Dhul Hijjah.
This Qurbani,will provide a family with nutritious long-lasting food items such as ready-to-eat-meals, canned meat, fruit, vegetables & soups as well as powdered milk, baby food, salt, sugar and water. This pack will last one family for an entire month.

The Cost of Qurbani in 2026
The cost of Qurbani in 2026 varies by country and animal type, with the cheapest qurbani starting from £25. Al Mustafa Welfare Trust offers Qurbani across Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.
For instance, in India, Qurbani is more affordable due to lower local animal costs and bulk purchasing; a cow share starts from just £25, making it the most accessible option for UK donors.
A sheep or goat for Qurbani can cost from £70 to £440 depending on the region, providing enough fresh meat to feed a family for weeks or months.

Qurbani meat is shared among people living on an income below the international poverty line, which is approximately £1.70 per day.
For many families, this is the only fresh meat they receive all year. Donate with us; it is not just a religious act - it is a lifeline!
Sophia Ali Kulisa lives in Kuruso, a remote village far from the nearest city. Like many families in her community, daily life is a quiet struggle, food and clean water are scarce, and most families survive by making charcoal and selling firewood. The little food they can afford is rarely balanced, and fresh meat is something they taste only once a year.
During last Eid al-Adha, Al Mustafa Welfare Trust's local team arrived in Kuruso to distribute Qurbani meat to the village. For Sophia, for the children, and for every family who gathered that day, it was more than a nutritious meal, it was a celebration.
"Today is a joyful day," Sophia said, smiling.
"Children and everyone in the village came to receive and eat the meat. You have brought us so much joy. May God bless you and bring more in the future."
Eid al-Adha 2026 is expected to begin on approximately 27th May 2026 in the UK, subject to moon sighting. Qurbani is valid on the 10th, 11th, and 12th days of Dhul Hijjah. Donate early to help us prepare animals in time.

Yes. You can Donate Qurbani online. Simply select your preferred country, animal type, and complete your payment. Our team will handle everything else.
Yes. There is no upper limit to the number of Qurbanis you can make. Many donors give one Qurbani for themselves and additional ones for their parents, children, or deceased loved ones. Each additional sacrifice carries its own full reward.
Al Mustafa Welfare Trust selects Qurbani beneficiaries based on need. Priority is given to vulnerable families living below the poverty line, single-parent and female-headed households or with disabled members, families with young children, pregnant women, or nursing mothers, and communities with little or no access to food markets.
Yes. It is permissible in Islam to give a Qurbani on behalf of a deceased parent, spouse, or loved one as an act of ongoing charity (Sadaqah). The reward of the sacrifice will, insha'Allah, be passed on to them.
Yes. Udhiyah is the Arabic term meaning ‘blood sacrifice’, while Qurbani is the Urdu/Persian equivalent derived from the Arabic word Qurban. Both refer to the same act of sacrifice performed during Eid al-Adha. In the UK, ‘qurbani’ is the more commonly used term.
You can donate Qurbani right up until the middle of the third day after Eid (13th of Dhul-Hijjah) before Zohar salah. AMWT has already purchased the animals to be slaughtered.
Our Qurbani sacrifices are performed every year between the morning of Eid, the 10th Dhul Hijjah, and the sunset of the 13th day of Dhul-Hijjah in the UK.
The quantity of meat is distributed to families based on the size of the family. Generally, a family of 1- 4 people will receive 4kg of meat, a family of 5-9 will get 6kg of meat and a family of more than 10 will receive 8kg to celebrate eid al adha.
Unfortunately, due to the nature of Qurbani and the time restrictions related to it we are not able to provide each donor with individual feedback on their specific Qurbani.
We will however send you a receipt to confirm your Qurbani and a notification when all our Qurbanis have been completed.
If you have provided us with a name, our team will call the name out after the Dua at the time of the sacrifice. However, it is not necessary to give us a name as long as you have made the intention that you are giving this Qurbani on behalf of a certain person.
Yes. Al Mustafa Welfare Trust ensures that every Qurbani donation is carried out in full accordance with Islamic Shariah guidelines. We purchase healthy animals from local farmers, and our trained teams perform the sacrifice after Eid prayers on the 10th, 11th, or 12th of Dhul Hijjah.
