Qurban, also known as Kurban or Udhiyyah, is the ritual act of sacrificing one of the five approved animals—sheep, goat, cattle, camel, or buffalo—during the 10th, 11th, and 12th days of Dhul-Hijjah, coinciding with the Islamic holiday of Eid al-Adha. This act of sacrifice is an expression of obedience to Allah (s.w.t.) and signifies devotion, empathy, and the willingness to share resources with those in need. The Qurban meat is distributed among family, friends, and those who are less fortunate to foster a sense of community and gratitude.

Aqiqah is a celebratory act performed to show gratitude to Allah (s.w.t.) for the blessing of a newborn child. It typically involves the sacrifice of one or two animals, with the meat distributed among family, friends, and those in need. This practice is highly recommended (Sunnah Mu’akkadah) and symbolizes the parents’ acknowledgment of Allah’s gift and their intention to raise the child in faith. The act of Aqiqah is not only a religious ritual but also a means of fostering goodwill and unity within the community.

Shifa Qurban is a special type of Qurban performed with the intention of seeking Allah’s mercy and recovery from illnesses. The concept is based on the Islamic belief that acts of charity and sacrifice can bring blessings and relief from afflictions. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is reported to have said, “Protect your wealth with zakat, treat your sick with sadaqah, and prepare for calamities with prayer.” By performing Shifa Qurban, individuals express hope for physical or spiritual healing, and the sacrificed animal’s meat is distributed to those in need, further amplifying the act’s charitable nature.

A Nazar Qurban is a special type of sacrifice that fulfills a vow made by an individual. When a Muslim makes a vow (Nazar) to perform a Qurban if a particular event or prayer is fulfilled, this specific act is carried out as an expression of gratitude to Allah. The process involves the sacrifice of an animal, with the meat distributed to the poor and needy as a charitable act. This type of Qurban is seen as a binding promise and carries great spiritual significance, symbolizing one’s commitment to faith and devotion.

Sedekah (Sadaqah) Qurban is an act of charity where the sacrifice of an animal is performed, and the meat is distributed to impoverished and underprivileged communities. Unlike regular Qurban that is performed as a religious obligation during Eid al-Adha, Sedekah (Sadaqah) Qurban can be conducted at any time as an additional act of charity. This type of Qurban embodies the Islamic values of generosity and community support, aiming to provide nourishment and relief to those who struggle with food insecurity. It serves as a means to gain spiritual rewards and express empathy toward fellow humans.

The Qurban ibadah (act of sacrifice) is highly recommended for every adult Muslim who possesses wealth equal to or greater than the Nisab threshold, the minimum amount of savings or wealth that makes them eligible for Zakat. This act is obligatory (wajib) for those who meet the criteria and is a highly encouraged Sunnah for others who can afford it. Performing Qurban is an opportunity to demonstrate gratitude, obedience to Allah, and compassion for those less fortunate, reinforcing the sense of unity and faith within the Muslim community.

Yes, you can make an intention (niyyah) for Qurban on behalf of another person, including deceased family members. This is considered an act of Sadaqah and is rewarded in Islam. Additionally, Muslims can perform Qurban with the intention of extending its benefits to past loved ones or people who cannot afford to do so themselves. This act enhances community bonds and aligns with Islamic principles of charity and kindness.
