On whom is Qurbani (Udhiyah) Waajib?
1. Qurbani is Waajib on all Muslims (male and female)
who are sane, baaligh (have reached the age of
puberty) and are the possessors of minimum Zakaatable
wealth (Nisaab). Please contact your local Imaam/Mufti
for the latest Nisaab amount. It is not necessary that the
ownership of such wealth be for a full year.
2. Qurbani is Waajib on a man for himself only, not for
his wife and children. However, it is his duty to see that
his wife’s and grown-up (baaligh) children’s Qurbani are
made if they are possessors of his wealth with their
permission, their Qurbani will be valid.
3. Qurbani is not Waajib on poor people (who do not
possess wealth equal to Nisaab) nor on travellers
(Musaafir) nor on minors. If a minor reaches the age of
puberty or a poor person becomes rich or a Musaafir
becomes a Muqeem i.e. by completing his journey or
intending to stay in one place for 15 days or more before
the sunset of the 12th Zil Hijjah then Qurbani is Waajib
on them.
4. Qurbani on behalf of a deceased person is Waajib if
he had made a Wasiyyat (bequest) that it should be
undertaken from his wealth, provided the cost does not
exceed one third of his net estate.
5. Qurbani is Waajib on a person who makes a Nazr
(Vow) i.e. if a certain work of mine is carried out I will
make Qurbani, then Qurbani becomes Waajib on him
when that task is accomplished. This Qurbani must be
carried out in the days of Qurbani, unless it is generally
excepted and understood that merely slaughtering an
animal on ANY DAY is referred to as Qurbani, and this
had been the intention of the person who made a vow,
then it will be permissible for him to sacrifice an animal
on any day.
6. If a poor person buys an animal during the days of
Qurbani, with the intention of s Qurbani, then it becomes
Waajib upon him to sacrifice this animal. However, if this
animal dies or gets lost, Qurbani will not remain Waajib
on him. It will not be necessary for him to buy another
animal. If he buys another animal and thereafter the first
one is found, it becomes Waajib upon him to sacrifice
both animals.
7. A person on whom Qurbani is Waajib, purchased an
animal for sacrifice. Thereafter this animal was lost,
stolen or died. In such a case it will be Waajib to
sacrifice another animal in its place. If after purchasing
the second animal the first one is found, the sacrificing
of only one animal is Waajib upon him. If he sacrifices
the second animal then it is preferable to give as charity
the difference in price between the two animals, if there
be any e.g. the 1st animal had cost him £100 and the
second had cost him £80. He should now give £20 as
charity. However, it is preferable to make Qurbani of
both
the animals.
8. A person on whom Qurbani is Waajib, bought an
animal for sacrifice. Due to some reason he did not
slaughter it on the fixed days of Qurbani. It is now
compulsory upon
him to give the animal away, alive, as charity. If he did not
purchase the animal and
Qurbani was Waajib on him, it is obligatory for him to give
as charity, the value of an
animal.
9. If a person, on whom Qurbani was Waajib, failed to
carry it out for a number of
years, should give the value of that number of animals as
charity. Slaughtering of that
amount of animals during the days of Qurbani will not
compensate for the missed
Qurbani, but will instead be regarded as voluntary
Qurbani.
10. If a person carries out Qurbani on behalf of a person
on whom Qurbani is Waajib,
without his permission and without his knowing, this
Qurbani will not be valid. If it is
done with his permission or instruction it is permissible.
11. It is Mustahab (preferable) for those intending to make
Qurbani not to cut their
hair or clip their nails (from the time the moon for Zil Hijjah
is sighted until after
Qurbani).
12. Qurbani is an Ibaadat that has to be carried out every
year on whom it is Waajib.
Being a Hajee is not a condition for Qurbani becoming
Waajib.
The time for Qurbani
1. The time for Qurbani begins after Eid Salaat on the l0th
of Zil Hijjah and ends at the
setting of the sun on the l2th of Zil Hijjah.
2. It is better to make Qurbani on the first day, then the
second day and lastly the third
day.
3. Qurbani is allowed during the two intervening nights,
but it is preferable during the
day because of the possibility of not slaughtering correctly.
4. People living in remote village areas where Eid Salaat
is not performed, may
slaughter after Fajr time (Subah Saadiq-early dawn) has
set in on the morning of the
l0th Zil Hijjah.
5. If a person residing in a town (where Eid Salaat is
performed) sends his animal to
the village (where Eid Salaat is not performed), it is
permissible that his animal be
slaughtered before the Eid Salaat.
6. If a doubt occurs as to whether it is the l2th or the l3th,
it is Mustahab (preferable)
to give away all the meat in sacrifice after slaughtering the
animal.
7. If an animal bought for Qurbani was not slaughtered
during these days, it must be
given away alive as charity.
8. These days, i.e. the l0th, 11th and the l2th of Zil Hijjah
are known as AYYAAMUN
-NAHR (the days of slaughtering).
