| Qurbani |
|
Udhiya/Qurbani is a tradition of Prophet Ibrahim (AS), and has been made obligatory on every Muslim man and woman who can afford to perform it after fulfilling their other duties and responsibilities. It is offered at the time of Eid-ul-Adha or during the 3 days of the Islamic month of Dhulhijjah, namely the 10th, 11th, and 12th to show gratitude towards Allah (SWT) and to provide for the poor and needy. Since it is difficult to perform the Udhiya/Qurbani sacrifice in most western countries, and there are also much poorer people elsewhere in the Ummah, it is permissible to pay for a sacrifice to be performed on one's behalf in another country, and for all the meat to be distributed to the poor. One could also do some locally and some overseas. If someone is able to carry out more than one Udhiya/Qurbani, then he can perform additional ones on behalf of Prophet Muhammad (SAW), the Muslim Ummah, his/her deceased parents/relatives etc. Insha’Allaah. Baytul-Iman Academy is arranging for Muslims to perform the Udhiya/Qurbani on your behalf in needy location(s) overseas and distribute the meat to the poor. Baytul-Iman, Inc. is a 501 (c)(3) Non-Profit Tax Exempt Organization. YOUR DONATIONS ARE TAX DEDUCTIBLE. Tax ID No. 52-2339243. |
