Bring Hope and Nourishment This Eid — Donate Your Qurban
The virtuous season of Hajj and sacrifice carries weight unlike any other time of the year and we’re here to turn your devotion into real life change.
Fulfil Your Qurban
World hunger is at an all-time high due to global crises. Meat has become inaccessible to millions of people around the world, who are counting on your generosity to receive sustenance.
Last year, your dedication was transformative – helping us deliver quality Qurban meat to almost 1.5 million people across 33 locations worldwide.
This year, we’re making sure your impact is even greater. You can help us deliver nutritious meat to feed families in places like Gaza, Lebanon, Sudan, Yemen and 30 more destinations worldwide – while reaping the benefits of fulfilling a sacred duty.
The opportunity to give doesn’t end there. This Dhul-Hijjah, we’re giving you more ways to help you maximise your rewards and extend your generosity:
- SPONSOR AN ORPHAN FROM 19 COUNTRIES
- MILKING COW OWNERSHIP (Income Generation)
- BUILD AN ARTESIAN WELL IN GAZA
- PROVIDE TENTS FOR DISPLACED FAMILIES IN SUDAN
Building Artesian Wells in Gaza
Over 2 million people are left with no running water: surviving on humanitarian trucks for daily water use. This isn’t a temporary crisis. It’s the reality millions wake up to, but it doesn’t have to stay that way.
At a depth of about 50 metres, our Artesian Water Wells are a long-term source of clean, desalinated water for thousands of people who have been left with nothing.
Here’s what makes it even more extraordinary; every single drop used from the well is a reward that flows beyond the sacred season.
One well, thousands impacted, endless rewards.
Join us in sharing the blessings of Dhul-Hijjah & Eid Al-Adha with our brothers and sisters in need.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do I have to do Qurban?
Qurban is considered obligatory upon every Muslim who can afford it. It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said; “Whoever can afford it, but does not offer a sacrifice, let him not come near our prayer place” (Ibn Majah).
Do I have to sacrifice the Qurban myself?
No. You may delegate it to an individual or organisation to sacrifice your Qurban on your behalf.
How many Qurban should I do?
Each household must commit at least ONE Qurban, which will be sacrificed on the day of Eid al-Adha. The head of the family may offer the sacrifice on behalf of other members in the house.
It was narrated that Mikhnaf bin Sulaim said:
“We were standing with the Prophet (ﷺ) at ‘Arafat and he said: ‘O people, each family, each year, must offer Udhiyah and ‘Atirah.’ (Ibn Majah 3125.)
Can I do more than one Qurban?
Yes. Despite one Qurban being sufficient to fulfil the obligation, there is no limit to how many should be sacrificed.
Narrated Jabir (RA):
“The Prophet (ﷺ) slaughtered sixty-three (sacrificial) camels and ordered ‘Ali to slaughter the remainder [thirty-seven].” [Reported by Muslim].
When must I pay my Qurban?
Although it is best to do so as soon as possible – your Qurban should be fulfilled by the last day of Eid al-Adha, as the sacrifices must take place during those days.
Human Appeal Australia processes Qurban donations for the entire 4 days of Eid, allowing you the chance to fulfil it on time.
The Prophet PBUH said: “Whoever slaughtered (the sacrifice) after the prayer, he slaughtered it at the right time and followed the Sunnah.” [Sahih al-Bukhari].
Which animals can be considered Qurban?
Qurban animals are sheep, goats, cows or camels.
Is the Qurban carried out locally, or in another country?
In many locations, livestock sacrificed within the destination country, allowing beneficiaries to receive fresh meat during Eid al-Adha.
In other locations where on-site sacrifice is not feasible, the Qurban is performed in Australia or other countries. The meat is then processed and distributed either canned or frozen, depending on the needs and conditions of the region.
What is Canned Qurban?
Canned Qurban is pre-cooked meat, prepared and ready for immediate consumption. It has a long shelf life which is strategic for regions where resources are limited and refrigeration is not possible, such as refugee camps.
This means more people, no matter where they are, get to receive sustenance from your Qurban sacrifice.
What is Hard Frozen Qurban?
These are animals that are cut into 6 pieces and individually wrapped. Each Qurban is then shipped in a separate carton to its intended destination via refrigerated containers.
