Frequently
Asked Questions
Q1) How does the Udhiya/Qurbani program work?
Ideally the meat from the Qurbani sacrifice should be shared between one's own family, friends and the poor. It is very difficult to perform a Qurbani sacrifice in most western countries, and there are also relatively fewer poor people that can accept raw meet as charity, so it is permissible to pay for a sacrifice to be performed on one's behalf in another country, and for all the meat to be distributed to the poor.
The Qurbani sacrifice through IslamiCity is performed according to islamically
prescribed methods in a country of your choosing (or where most needed) and the meat is distributed to the poor and needy.
Q2) What is Islamicity's Qurbani Program?
Since 2000, IslamiCity has been organizing annual Qurbani and working with agencies in distributing the meat to benefit some of the world's poorest and vulnerable people.
Q3) Are donations to Qurbani Program tax deductible?

federal Tax ID# 95-4348674.
