Question 1

Is it permissible for multiple individuals to collectively contribute towards the Qurban sacrifice of a single cow?

Accepted Answer

According to a narration reported by Muslim, during Hajj the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) encouraged sharing a cow or camel among seven individuals.

Question 2

Can a person perform Qurban with a single goat/sheep for his whole family?

Accepted Answer

One sacrifice is sufficient on behalf of all the members of a household, no matter how many of them there are. A man may offer a sheep on behalf of himself and the members of his family. In a household with a few members, Qurban is regarded as sunnah muakkadah, and if one person performs it by offering one sheep, the responsibility of the others is removed.

Question 3

How can one fulfill the obligation of Qurban?

Accepted Answer

If performing the sacrifice personally is not feasible, one can contribute through a reputable organisation that carries out Qurbani on their behalf. Prices may vary depending on the location of the sacrifice, but the purpose remains the same. While it is preferred to conduct the sacrifice in one's residing country, scholars permit selecting a country with greater poverty and need.

Question 4

Who is obligated to perform Qurban?

Accepted Answer

Qurbani is incumbent upon every mentally sound and financially capable Muslim. Offering a sheep or goat, or a share in a cow or camel, suffices for oneself and their household.

Question 5

When is the appropriate time for Qurban?

Accepted Answer

The sacrifice must occur after the Eid prayer on the 10th of Dhul Hijjah until sunset on the 13th of Dhul Hijjah. For those donating through organisations, early payment before Eid is advisable. Once Dhul-Hijjah commences, it is recommended to refrain from cutting hair or nails until after the sacrifice.

Question 6

Is Qurban sunnah or wajib?

Accepted Answer

In the Shafi‘i school, which is widely followed in Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia, Qurban is a highly encouraged sunnah muakkadah for a Muslim who is financially able. In the Hanafi school, it is treated as wajib for those who meet the conditions.

Question 7

Can Qurban be done online or through an agent?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A person may appoint a trusted organisation or agent to carry out Qurban on their behalf. This is based on the permissibility of wakalah in Qurban matters. Many Muslims today perform Qurban through recognised organisations that handle purchase, slaughter, and distribution for them.

Question 8

Is overseas Qurban allowed from Singapore?

Accepted Answer

Yes. It is permissible to perform Qurban in another country through a trusted organisation, especially where recipients are in greater need.

Question 9

What is the minimum age of a Qurban animal?

Accepted Answer

The animal must meet the required Shariah age. For example, in Shafi‘i references commonly used in the region, a goat should have reached the required age, and sheep also have their own minimum age requirement before they are valid for Qurban.

Question 10

Until when can Qurban be performed?

Accepted Answer

The time for slaughter begins after the Eid al-Adha prayer on 10 Zulhijjah and continues until sunset on 13 Zulhijjah. Slaughter done before the Eid prayer does not count as Qurban.

Question 11

Can I do Qurban for a deceased parent or loved one?

Accepted Answer

Many scholars allow Qurban on behalf of a deceased person, especially if it was part of their wishes or done as a form of reward dedicated to them. Because there are detailed differences among scholars, it is best to state clearly at the time of booking whose Qurban it is intended for.

Question 12

When should I make payment for Qurban?

Accepted Answer

You should book and pay early enough for the organisation to arrange the purchase and slaughter during the valid Qurban days. For overseas Qurban, early confirmation is advisable because slots, livestock, and logistics are usually finalised before Eid.

Question 13

Can I cut my hair and nails if I intend to do Qurban?

Accepted Answer

This issue has a known difference of opinion among Sunni scholars. Some scholars discourage or prohibit cutting hair and nails after the first ten days of Zulhijjah begin until the sacrifice is completed, while Shafi‘i discussions in the region often treat it more lightly than the Hanbali view. For the cautious approach, many Muslims avoid cutting them until after their Qurban is done.

Question 14

Can a woman perform Qurban?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Qurban is not limited to men. A financially able Muslim woman may perform Qurban in her own name, just as a man may.
