Give Qurbani. Feed the Forgotten.
“We have made sacrificial camels and cattle among the symbols of Allah, in which there is much good for you… and feed the needy—those who do not beg, and those who do.” - Surah Al-Hajj, 22:36
While many of us gather with loved ones this Eid al-Adha, millions of families around the world are facing hunger, displacement and poverty.
In places affected by war, displacement and severe poverty — from Palestine, Sudan and Pakistan to other parts of Asia, Africa and the Middle East — Eid can be overshadowed by hardship. For many vulnerable families, your Qurbani donation is the only time they will eat meat all year.
At Penny Appeal, your Qurbani is more than a donation. It is a sacred act of worship that helps place nourishing food on the table for families who need it most.
Why your Qurbani matters
Rising food prices continue to hit the poorest communities hardest. For a widow in a remote village, a parent struggling through crisis, or a displaced family forced from home, fresh meat is often out of reach.
When you donate Qurbani through Penny Appeal, your sacrifice can provide:
- Vital nutrition for children and families facing food insecurity
- Dignity in celebration through a proper Eid meal
- Support for local farmers through locally sourced, Shariah-compliant livestock where possible
For many families, your sacrifice is not just a meal. It is relief, dignity and hope during the blessed days of Eid al-Adha.

Your Qurbani brought relief, dignity, and joy to vulnerable families across 12 countries during the blessed days of Dhul-Hijjah in 2025. For millions of people, fresh meat is a rare luxury, and your sacrifice helped ensure communities around the world could share in the blessings of Eid al-Adha.
We always aim to use your donation as intended. If you have selected ‘where most needed’, your donation will go to the country with the greatest need at the time, guided by our experts and local partners, while still supporting your chosen appeal. If we cannot use your donation as you intended, it will fund similar projects in the same country or region.
Is my Qurbani 100% Shariah-compliant?
Yes. We take the sanctity of your Qurbani donation seriously. Animals are sourced carefully, checked to ensure they meet the required health and age standards, and sacrificed in line with Islamic guidelines during the prescribed days of Eid ul-Adha after Eid prayer.
When and where will my Qurbani be distributed?
Qurbani meat is distributed during Eid ul-Adha and the days of sacrifice. We prioritise communities facing severe hardship, including conflict-affected and drought-affected areas, so your Qurbani reaches families who may not have received meat for months.
Can I give a "Prophetic Qurbani" this year?
Yes. A Prophetic Qurbani is a beautiful way to honour the Sunnah. By choosing this option, you fulfil your own Qurbani and give an additional sacrifice on behalf of someone in the Ummah who cannot afford one.
How do I know my donation has been used for Qurbani?
Transparency matters to us. After Eid, Penny Appeal shares updates from the field through impact reports, stories and videos to show how your Qurbani donation helped families in need. While individual proof is not possible at scale, the wider impact of your donation can still be demonstrated with dignity and care.
Why do Qurbani prices vary by country?
Qurbani prices depend on the local cost of livestock in each country. We source animals locally where possible to support farmers, maintain freshness, and make distribution more effective. Prices may be higher in regions where access, transport, or security conditions are more difficult.
Who has to give Qurbani?
In general, Qurbani is required from eligible adult Muslims who meet the financial threshold. If you are unsure whether Qurbani is obligatory for you or your household, please visit our Qurbani Rules page for more detailed guidance.
How much Qurbani do I need to give per person?
One Qurbani share is usually required per eligible person. Larger animals may be split into shares, while smaller animals count as one full Qurbani.
Can I donate Qurbani online in the UK?
Yes. You can donate Qurbani online quickly and securely from the UK, with Penny Appeal arranging the sacrifice and distribution on your behalf during Eid ul-Adha.
Important Information about Qurbani in Palestine
We offer two Qurbani options for Palestine. The first option being Qurbani carried out in the West Bank, distributed as fresh meat immediately after sacrifice on the day of Eid.
To provide Qurbani meat for those facing ongoing hardship in Gaza, selected animals are sacrificed on the day of Eid in a Sharia-compliant manner in either Jordan or Egypt. The meat is then preserved, packaged, and transported as canned meat for distribution in Gaza in the following days and weeks.
If we are unable to transport the meat into Gaza within a suitable timeframe, it will be distributed to Palestinian refugees in Egypt or Jordan.
