No, due to conditions in the regions where the sacrifices are distributed, it is not possible for us to provide individual photos or videos of each Qurbani.
However, you can view representative photos from the distribution areas on our website and social media accounts.
Once your Qurbani has been carried out, we will notify you via SMS or email using the contact information you provided.
When carrying out the Qurbani project, our foundation is guided by the awareness that this act is primarily a form of worship, with the ultimate goal being to attain the pleasure of Allah (SWT).
With this understanding, we pay particular attention to the following:
-
Serving as an intermediary for our donors in fulfilling their act of worship through sacrifice,
-
Celebrating Eid with millions of our Muslim brothers and sisters across dozens of countries and regions, strengthening bonds within the Ummah,
-
Bringing morale, motivation, and joy to communities throughout the Islamic world,
-
Observing conditions on the ground, understanding the challenges faced by our fellow geographies, and staying connected to their experiences,
-
Identifying urgent needs, developing solutions, and presenting these projects to charitable Muslim societies for support,
-
And, of course, ensuring the distribution of sacrificial meat to those most in need.
In the regions where IHH operates, we carry out projects in a wide range of fields throughout the year.
With the support of our partner organizations, we identify the most deprived areas and focus our efforts there to help alleviate hardship.
Within IHH Humanitarian Relief Foundation’s programs, priority is given to refugee camps, victims of war and natural disasters, orphanages, orphaned families, the elderly, the abandoned, widows, impoverished communities, as well as schools, madrasas, and hospitals.
Before Eid, detailed assessments are prepared for each region where Qurbani activities will take place, ensuring that aid reaches those who need it most.
Initially, the most important point in determining regions for the qurban projects is the extent of hardship and poverty. According to this, priority is given to regions afflicted by war and crises, countries and regions affected by natural disasters, poor countries and regions struck by famine and drought, and countries and regions where the Muslim population is a minority.
You can appoint various organizations such as foundations and institutions that perform the sacrifice in regions that are in need both locally and abroad. The only condition is that the institution is a trustworthy organization that performs the sacrifice complying with the intention, the Islamic commands, and distributes the meat and skins to places in most need.
The Qurbani process begins when an individual who wishes to have a sacrifice performed on their behalf sends the required amount—covering both the cost of the sacrifice and the distribution of the meat to those in need—to the IHH Humanitarian Relief Foundation.
As with all acts of worship, what matters most is the individual’s intention and consent.
By requesting IHH to carry out the Qurbani on their behalf, the donor expresses this intention and will.
It is not necessary for this to be stated verbally—according to Islamic principles, the act of making the request and completing the necessary steps is itself considered a valid declaration of intent.
The cost of one share of Qurbani is $220, €200, or £167.
This amount covers all expenses related to the organization and distribution of the sacrifice.

As expected, Qurbani prices vary from one region of the world to another.
Prices differ depending on the country or area where the sacrifice will be carried out.
To prevent a concentration of donations in regions where costs are lower—and to ensure that areas with higher prices but urgent needs are not neglected—IHH adopts a strategic approach. It collects Qurbani prices from all regions and determines an average fixed price.
This unified pricing policy allows Qurbani meat to be delivered proportionally to the level of need in each region. Thanks to this approach, even areas facing critical needs but where Qurbani prices are high can still receive an adequate share of donations.
Thanks to our organizational network across various regions, our foundation is able to purchase Qurbani animals in advance.
These animals are reserved for those who wish to authorize us to carry out the sacrifice on their behalf, at a pre-determined fixed price.
According to Islamic principles, there is no objection to setting an “average price” and collecting a fixed amount for the Qurbani in this manner.
Donors may choose to have their Qurbani performed in any of the countries designated by IHH.
However, leaving the decision of the sacrifice location to IHH officials is often more appropriate, as it helps prevent an excessive concentration of Qurbani in certain regions.
Donors who entrust their Qurbani to our foundation are informed via email once the sacrifice has been carried out.
After the Qurbani process is completed in each region, local teams notify our headquarters that the sacrifices have been performed.
Following this confirmation, emails are sent to the donors to inform them that their Qurbani has been successfully completed.
Qurban donations can be given until 11:59 PM on the second day of Eid.
Qurban sacrifices begin immediately following the Eid prayer on the first day of Eid and continue until the afternoon prayer on the third day of Eid.
An amount less than the designated Qurbani price will not be sufficient to cover the cost of one share.
Our foundation carries out Qurbani operations across five continents through teams dispatched from Türkiye, international representatives, and numerous partner organizations with strong operational capabilities.
Before Eid al-Adha, these local partners identify those in need, purchase the sacrificial animals, and plan the slaughter and distribution processes in the designated regions.
Following this preparation, IHH teams travel to the countries where the Qurbani will be performed. Before Eid, they receive the necessary authorizations (wakalah) in proportion to the number of sacrifices to be made.
Under the supervision of our partner organizations, Qurbani slaughters begin after the Eid prayer and continue until the afternoon of the third day of Eid. During this period, both the sacrifice and the distribution of meat to those in need are carried out.
