The people in crisis-hit countries like Yemen, Syria and Palestine need our aid because they can't hit pause on the suffering and after-effects of bombings and violence. Save an Orphan strives to bring some relief and joy during Eid by providing protein-filled Qurbani meat. You can donate your Qurbani for £150 and make a significant impact by saving lives.
When you donate your Qurbani, you’re giving quality meat that is sustainably and humanely reared. We uphold 100% Islamic Principles, sourcing the healthiest animals to slaughter and deliver nutritious meals to those who need it most.
Should be given by every Muslim
Qurbani starts on the 10th day of Dhul- Hijah
The meat from Qurbani should be divided in three equal parts
Qurbani is an obligatory act whereby every year Muslims around the world slaughter an animal – a goat, a sheep, a cow or a camel during the month of Dhul Hijjah, the 12th and final month of the Islamic Calendar.
This is in order to reflect Prophet Ibrahim’s willingness to sacrifice his son Ismail for the sake of Allah.
Qurbani is mandatory for every Muslim who:
You should slaughter your animal anytime within the days of sacrifice –from the 10th of Dhul Hijjah till the sunset of the 12th of Dhul Hijjah.
Sacrifices can only be made after the Eid prayer (sacrifices made before do not count as Qurbani)
The Qurbani animal must be a goat, sheep, ram, or cattle (such as cow, bull, ox and buffalo), or a camel.
A small animal such as a sheep or goat counts as one Qurbani share, while larger animals like camels and cattle count as seven Qurbani shares each.
The goat or the sheep must be at least one year old and shouldn’t be blind, physically disabled, have broken horns or no teeth.
The act of Qurbani is a sunnah of Prophet Ibrahim (as) and here are some of its benefits:
Save an Orphan makes sure your Qurbani goes to some of the world’s poorest families across Asia and Africa. We conduct poverty assessments to target the most vulnerable and distribute meat packs at local centres.
Your Qurbani ensures that families who are extremely poor, living with food insecurity have access to a nutritious meal with meat. It allows families to have meat for the first time all year so they can enjoy their Eid.
Follow in the footsteps of the Prophets and give to vulnerable orphan’s and their communities. Donate for Eid ul-Adha and sacrifice an animal for the love of Allah.

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “It is the Sunnah of your father Ibrahim (as). For every hair of the Qurbani you receive a reward from Allah (SWT)."
