Notes
  1. 1) Your khums due date is the first day you started your job or business. If you are retired or not in employment, then you can agree a khums due date with a representative of the marja'a, or calculate separate khums years for each profit that you make, from the date you made that profit.

  3. 3) If the calculations show that the amount of khums due is negative as a result of sustenance debts, then the amount of the sustenance debt equivalent to the amount of khums due for the rest of the item is calculated and excluded.
  4. 4) If sustenance debts are fully repaid in the financial year, this amount is excluded from the profits.

How Your Qurbani Reaches Families

Each sheep provides approximately 20kg of Qurbani meat, which is carefully distributed to families based on their size. Smaller families typically receive a 2kg pack, while larger families of 5 or more receive 4kg. This means that a single sheep can support between 5 to 10 families – allowing your Qurbani to reach multiple households this Eid Al-Adha.

In Ghana, Qurbani is performed through cows, with each cow shared across multiple donations. The meat is distributed using the same system, ensuring that smaller families receive 2kg and larger families with 5 or more, receive 4kg packs. This year, our teams plan to deliver 250 Qurbani packs to 212 registered families in Ghana, ensuring that orphaned children and their families are supported during Eid Al-Adha.

Why Your Qurbani Matters

Qurbani is an important Islamic practice performed during Eid Al-Adha, involving the sacrifice of a livestock animal. It is compulsory for those performing Hajj and highly recommended for Muslims who are able to give, even if they are not undertaking the pilgrimage.

Delivering Qurbani Where Need Is Great

In Afghanistan, the humanitarian crisis continues to worsen. It is estimated that 45% of the population will require urgent humanitarian assistance in 2026, while nearly 4 million children are suffering from acute malnutrition. For many families, access to nutritious food remains out of reach.

In Iraq, 8 million children are living in multidimensional poverty, facing daily challenges including food insecurity, limited access to healthcare, and financial hardship.

Your Qurbani brings relief to those in urgent need.
