Each year, IGP is honored to facilitate Qurbani for Eid al-Adha on behalf of our reading community. It's a unique annual service we do in the spirit of serving our loyal readership.
One whole goat or sheep will be dedicated in Makkah or Madinah and distributed to those in need on your behalf. Our team has been partnering with a local farm for over a decade to complete the Qurbani in Makkah and Madinah. All the meat is distributed to the underprivileged residents of Makkah (and Madinah if selected). Good deeds have a special virtue when done in the Haramain.
All of our animals are one or more years old. None of the animals have any defects, such as, but not limited to, missing teeth, severed tails or defective ears. Our local Makkah and Madinah team handpicks the animals prior to Eid and is involved in slaughtering and supervising the entire operation from start to finish.
In honor of Dhu al-Hijjah — the Month of Allah — all who honor us by entrusting their Qurbani to our team will receive two special gifts:
A free paperback copy of our forthcoming book Forty Hadiths on the Virtues of Madinah by Shaykh Yusuf al-Nabhani
A unique Ottoman style certificate designed by the IGP Manuscripts Team to celebrate the completion of the 2024 Qurbani
In order to allow our team time to prepare, these gifts will only be available for those who reserve Qurbani prior to 1 Dhul Hijjah, 1445 AH (approximately June 7, 2024).
Frequently Asked Questions
Will my Qurbani be processed and distributed within the days of Eid?
Our farmer & processor have many years of experience processing and distributing meat during Hajj. They will ensure that all animals are processed & packaged on the day of Eid, and all meat is distributed the next day to those in need. This is also handled by our local team members in Makkah and Madinah.
Who will receive donations of meat?
The meat from your Qurbani will be donated to the poor of Hijaz and the outlying suburbs. The residents of these areas are largely emigrants & refugees, with large numbers from West & East Africa, as well as Rohingya from Burma.
How will you ensure my Qurbani is performed according to specifications?
We have a longstanding relationship with our farmers & processor through Hajj & umrah trips organized by Sara International Travel. IGP's team, as well as scholars we work with, have personally supervised their work in the past & is confident they will fulfill their task with ihsan.
Is there any special blessing in having my Qurbani done in Makkah and Madinah?
In general, actions within the haram carry special blessings & benefits. One might hope for some baraka in donating to the poor of Makkah and Madinah.
Can I dedicate animals for other purposes besides Qurbani, like an aqiqah or general sadaqah?
Yes! Please email us with your specific requests & we'll ensure they are fulfilled for you.
