When Is Qurbani Performed?

Qurbani is a sacred act of worship carried out during Eid al‑Adha, honouring the devotion of Prophet Ibrahim (AS). To ensure your Qurbani is valid and accepted, it must be performed within the correct Islamic dates each year.

In 2026, Eid al‑Adha is expected to fall around Sunday 28 June 2026 (subject to moon sighting).

This means Qurbani can only be performed on:

• 10th Dhul Hijjah – Eid day
• 11th Dhul Hijjah
• 12th Dhul Hijjah

These are the only days when the sacrifice is valid.

Can You Donate Before These Dates?

Yes — and it’s recommended.

While the sacrifice itself must happen during the three days of Eid, you can donate your Qurbani well in advance. Early donations help charities prepare animals, organise teams, and ensure every Qurbani is carried out on time and distributed to families who need it most.

Donating early avoids last‑minute delays and ensures your Qurbani is completed smoothly.
