Qurban/Udhiyah
Qurban Distribution To Our Local Community
The Qurban/Udhiyah (sacrificial offering) is a prescribed act of worship and a means of drawing closer to Allah. It is Sunnah to eat from the sacrifice, as the Prophet ﷺ used to eat from his sacrifice. It is also recommended to give in charity and gift from it.
The Qur’an and Sunnah indicate general distribution without a fixed ratio, and there is flexibility in how it is shared.
Allah says:
“So eat from them and feed the miserable poor.” [Al-Hajj: 28]
“So eat from them and feed the contented poor and the beggar.” [Al-Hajj: 36]
NZF Australia is once again bringing Qurban distribution to our local community. This year, we’ve expanded to include two additional states for collection points, Alhamdulillah. Your sacrifice will help support Australian families doing it tough this Eid.
Cost for a Qurban
A Qurban costs $290 per sheep. This includes all processing and distribution of the meat.
When booking, you may reserve one or two portions to collect for your family. Collection is only available in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, and Perth.
Please note: Each state has limited allocations available. Collections will remain open until allocations are exhausted or capacity is reached.
However, Qurban orders are open to everyone in Australia.
Collection Options
If you are in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, or Perth, we recommend collecting a portion of your Qurban in accordance with the Sunnah. You may choose to receive one or two portions from each Qurban you have ordered. If you prefer for your entire Qurban to be distributed to those in need, this will be arranged on your behalf.
Collection locations:
⭐ Melbourne – Brunswick
⭐ Sydney – Lakemba
⭐ Brisbane– Underwood
⭐ Perth – Langford
📌 Important Information: Please read before placing your order.
⭐ By purchasing Qurban through NZF, you authorise NZF to carry out and distribute the Qurban on your behalf.
⭐ The Qurban will be performed in accordance with ANIC approved dates for 2026.
⭐ The total cost of $290 includes the animal, slaughter, preparation, distribution, and administration fees.
⭐ Once Dhul Hijjah is announced, NZF will email and/or SMS you the address of the collection points in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Perth. There will be a specified period during which you can collect your Qurban upon presenting your NZF receipt.
FAQs
Udhiyah refers to an animal from the an’aam category (such as a camel, cow, sheep, or goat) that is sacrificed during the days of Eid al-Adha. It is a confirmed Sunnah (Sunnah Mu’akkadah ) of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)
The term “Udhiyah” is more precise according to fiqh principles because it specifically refers to the sacrifice performed during Eid al-Adha, whereas “Qurban” is a broader term that can refer to a sacrifice done at any time.
This year 2026, the cost of the Udhiyah / Qurban is $290 per sheep (includes processing and local distribution of the meat).
Udhiyah (often referred as Qurban) must be done after the Eid prayer on the 10th of Dhul-Hijjah until Asr on the 13th. If done by yourself, it must be within this time. If delegated, you can pay early, but the sacrifice must still occur within these days."
