What Is Prophetic Qurbani?

Prophetic Qurbani refers to the giving of two Qurbanis during Eid al‑Adha — one for your own personal obligation, and a second on behalf of the Ummah, following the beautiful example of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.

It is a powerful act of generosity that brings relief to families in need while reviving a Sunnah of compassion and care.

How Does Prophetic Qurbani Work?

The Prophet ﷺ would offer:

• One Qurbani for himself, fulfilling his personal duty
• Another Qurbani on behalf of his Ummah, especially those who could not afford to give their own

Today, Muslims who are able to do can choose to follow this Sunnah by donating two Qurbanis:

1. Your obligatory Qurbani (wajib for those who meet the criteria)
2. A second voluntary Qurbani gifted to the Ummah

This additional sacrifice increases the impact of your giving and brings joy to even more families during Eid.

Why Give a Second Qurbani?

Giving an extra Qurbani:

• Revives a Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ
• Helps families who cannot afford their own sacrifice
• Provides more fresh meat to communities facing hardship
• Multiplies the benefit and reward of your giving
• Extends your compassion beyond your personal obligation

For many families, this may be the only time they receive fresh meat all year.

Who Benefits From Prophetic Qurbani?

Your second Qurbani is distributed to:

• Orphans
• Widows
• Families in poverty
• Communities affected by crisis
• Those who cannot afford their own Qurbani

It is a gift of dignity, nourishment, and hope.
