Qurbani 2025: Dates, Rules, and How to Fulfil Your Obligation
When Is Qurbani in 2025?
Qurbani 2025 will take place during the days of Eid ul-Adha, which is expected to begin on Saturday, 7 June 2025, depending on the sighting of the moon.
Qurbani can only be performed during a specific window of time:
- After Eid prayer on the 10th of Dhul-Hijjah
- Continuing on the 11th, 12th, and until sunset of the 13th of Dhul-Hijjah
Performing Qurbani before the Eid prayer is invalid; it must be done after the Eid Salat.
Who Must Perform Qurbani?
According to Islamic rulings, Qurbani is obligatory (wajib) on Muslims who:
- Are adult (have reached puberty)
- Are of sound mind
- Possess wealth equivalent to or above the Nisab threshold (similar to Zakat obligation)
- Are not travelling (according to some scholars)
Both men and women are equally responsible if they meet the above conditions. It is highly recommended that each eligible adult perform their own Qurbani rather than combining with others unless permitted (such as with cattle or camels).
Islamic Rules of Qurbani
To ensure your sacrifice is accepted, Islamic teachings emphasise the following guidelines:
- Type of Animal:
- Sheep, goats (minimum one year old) — one share each.
- Cows, camels (minimum two and five years old, respectively) — can be divided into seven shares among different individuals.
- Animal Condition:
- Must be healthy, without defects (such as missing limbs, blindness, extreme thinness).
- Must not be injured or sick.
- Method of Slaughter:
- Slaughter must be performed according to halal standards.
- Allah’s name (“Bismillah, Allahu Akbar”) must be invoked at the time of slaughter.
- Timing:
- Must occur after Eid prayer on the 10th Dhul-Hijjah and continue until sunset of the 13th Dhul-Hijjah.
How Much Does Qurbani Cost in 2025?
Costs vary depending on:
- Type of animal (sheep, goat, cow, camel)
- Location (Australia-based Qurbani vs international Qurbani)
- Market prices closer to Eid
In Australia, a local Qurbani usually costs more due to higher farming and halal certification standards. Many Muslims opt to perform their Qurbani internationally to reach impoverished communities and maximise impact.
At ARO, we offer affordable international Qurbani packages, ensuring your sacrifice benefits those who need it most:
- $170 AUD Africa, Asia, and Pacific Countries
- $220 AUD Where most needed
