"It is the Sunnah of your father Ibrahim (AS). For every hair of the Qurbani you receive a reward from Allah (SWT)."
The Prophet (PBUH) - (Hadith - Trimidhi)
Online Qurbani is simply a way of arranging your sacrifice through a trusted organisation instead of handling it personally. The method does not change the religious requirement. It changes how the process is carried out, while maintaining full compliance with Islamic guidelines.
At UKIM, the focus is not on simplifying the responsibility of your Qurbani obligation, but on managing it properly. Every stage, from sourcing animals to distributing meat, is handled with clear checks in place to make sure the Qurbani is valid and reaches the right people.
Qurbani online refers to arranging the sacrifice through an online charity platform that manages sourcing, slaughter, and distribution on behalf of donors, instead of Muslims managing the process themselves. The responsibility of carrying out the Qurbani process is transferred to a qualified organisation through the concept of agency (Wakalah). Once a charity, like UKIM, is assigned or an online payment is made, the organisation performs the Qurbani on the donor’s behalf during the required days of Dhul Hijjah.
The process includes getting the right animal, ensuring the sacrifice is carried out by a qualified individual, and checking that the distribution of the meat reaches eligible recipients. The validity of the Qurbani depends entirely on whether these steps meet Islamic requirements, not on whether the arrangement was made online.
The question of whether online Qurbani is allowed is based on a misunderstanding of the requirement to perform the act personally. However, there is no requirement to carry out Qurbani yourself. It is permissible to appoint someone else to perform it on your behalf. This is a recognised and established practice in Islam, as long as the sacrifice is carried out correctly and within the prescribed days.
For Qurbani to be valid, the following conditions must be fulfilled: the intention must be clear, the sacrifice must occur within the correct timeframe, the animal must meet the required health and age standards, and the slaughter must follow Islamic guidelines, including the recitation of the name of Allah. When these are met, the method of booking for Qurbani, whether online or in person, does not affect validity.
The shift toward Qurbani donations online is not driven by convenience alone. It is largely due to practical restrictions. In countries like the UK, strict regulations and restrictions around animal welfare and licensed slaughterhouses make it difficult for individuals to carry out Qurbani themselves.
At the same time, the Muslim population in the UK is diverse, with many families having roots in different parts of the world. As a result, there is a strong preference to give Qurbani where the need is greater. Some choose to donate to their countries of origin, while others prioritise regions facing poverty, food shortages, or crisis conditions.
Online Qurbani makes this possible in a controlled way. Instead of the meat being limited to one location, it is distributed in areas where families may not have regular access to meat.
Yes, you can give Qurbani online, as long as the sacrifice is carried out correctly on your behalf. In Islam, it is permissible to appoint someone else to perform Qurbani. What matters is that the correct method of Qurbani is followed. That means the real concern is not whether it is done online, but who is handling it.
If the organisation cannot clearly explain how animals are sourced, how the sacrifice is carried out, and where the meat is distributed, then there is no way to verify if the Qurbani has been done properly. A reliable Qurbani website should clearly outline its process, timelines, and compliance standards.
Our process of Qurbani online follows defined and easy steps. You start by visiting our Qurbani donation page, where you can review available options, including regions and pricing, which vary based on availability and local conditions.
The next step involves selecting the type of sacrifice. This includes choosing between a small animal such as a sheep or goat, a single share in a large animal such as a buffalo or a cow, or a full large animal consisting of all seven shares. Each option has its own price based on the type of animal and share selected.
After selecting the animal and location, the donation is added to the cart. At this stage, you can also include a name for whom the Qurbani is being offered. This is optional but commonly used when performing Qurbani on behalf of family members or deceased individuals.
The final stage is completing the payment. After the payment is complete, we take responsibility for your Qurbani. You’ll receive confirmation, and the sacrifice will be completed during the days of Eid.
Qurbani prices are not fixed. They vary depending on where the sacrifice takes place and the type of animal selected. In some countries, livestock is more accessible, which keeps costs lower. In others, factors like limited supply, transport challenges, or local conditions increase the price.
For Qurbani 2026, we offer options across regions, including Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, as well as “most needy” categories. This allows you to choose where your Qurbani will be carried out based on your budget and where you want it to reach.
Lower pricing does not mean a lower standard of animal or any compromise in how the sacrifice is carried out. It reflects the local cost of livestock in that region. Regardless of where you choose, we make sure that every Qurbani meets the required Islamic conditions and is carried out correctly.
An important part of online Qurbani is making sure that animals meet strict Islamic criteria. Each animal must be of the correct age, free from defects, and in good health. Animals that are underweight, injured, or visibly unfit are not eligible.
At UKIM, we source animals in advance to avoid shortages and to allow proper inspection. Every animal is checked before it is approved for Qurbani. If it does not meet the required standard, it is not used.
The sacrifice is carried out according to Islamic requirements, meaning that it’s performed by a Muslim who recites the name of Allah at the time of sacrifice, uses a sharp blade, and makes sure the process is carried out properly.
These checks are not optional because without them, the Qurbani is not valid.
When you pay Qurbani online with us, your transaction is processed through secure and encrypted systems. You will receive confirmation immediately, which confirms that your Qurbani has been successfully booked.
We also recommend completing your Qurbani donation early. As Eid approaches, demand increases, and certain regions or animal options may become limited. Late bookings can reduce your choices or create uncertainty around availability within the required days.
So, booking in advance allows us to plan properly and makes sure your Qurbani is carried out on time without complications.
The distribution of your Qurbani is a main part of the process. At UKIM, the meat is delivered to communities facing poverty, food insecurity, and hardship. We work in regions where access to fresh meat is limited. For many families, this is the only time in the year they are able to consume meat.
Our local teams manage the distribution on the ground. They understand the needs of their communities and make sure the meat reaches those who are eligible.
By giving Qurbani online with us, your sacrifice is not limited to one location. It reaches areas where the need is greater, extending the impact of your Qurbani beyond your immediate surroundings.
We understand that trust matters when you give a Qurbani donation online. You are not physically present, so it is our responsibility to make sure the process is clear and accountable.
At UKIM, once your Qurbani is booked, you receive confirmation straight away. We manage the process with defined steps, from sourcing the animal to carrying out the sacrifice and distributing the meat within the required days.
As Qurbani must be performed within a specific timeframe, it’s essential to plan ahead to ensure your sacrifice is valid. Qurbani begins after the Eid prayer on the 10th of Dhul Hijjah and ends before sunset on the 13th. Any sacrifice outside this window does not count as Qurbani. So, waiting until the last moment often means fewer options, while early booking gives you flexibility over preferred regions and animal types. It also allows us to plan procurement and logistics more effectively.
Online Qurbani is just another way to fulfil the same obligation carried out on your behalf. It is valid as long as the sacrifice is carried out properly and meets all Islamic requirements. At UKIM, we don’t leave any part of the process unclear. We make sure the animal is right, the Qurbani is carried out on time, and distribution is directed toward communities where the need is highest.
For Qurbani 2026, secure the booking early, select the region and animal based on clear criteria, and ensure the obligation is fulfilled without compromise.
Give Qurbani online through a system that is accountable from start to finish.
