Islam encourages equitable and compassionate distribution of Qurbani meat.
The recommended method is to divide it into three equal portions:
- One-third for your household
- One-third for relatives and friends
- One-third for those in need
This system ensures:
- Families benefit from the blessing
- Social ties are strengthened
- The poor and vulnerable are cared for
Organisations facilitating Qurbani in South Africa, such as SANZAF, ensure that meat reaches communities where it is needed most, maximising impact and reward.
Qurbani is more than a ritual it is a profound act of faith rooted in sacrifice, compassion and obedience to Allah (SWT). It reminds us of the unwavering devotion of Prophet Ibrahim (AS) and invites us to embody that same sincerity in our own lives.
As we approach the sacred days of Dhul Hijjah, let us renew our intentions and embrace the opportunity to give, to share and to draw closer to Allah (SWT).
Whether you are performing Qurbani for yourself, your family or on behalf of a loved one, your sacrifice can make a meaningful difference especially when directed to those most in need.
