What Is Qurbani for the Deceased?
Qurbani for the deceased means offering an animal sacrifice on behalf of a Muslim who has passed away. It is done with the intention of Isal-e-Sawab, asking Allah to send the reward of this good deed to the departed soul.
Many families perform Qurbani for deceased parents, spouses, children, relatives, or loved ones as a way to continue charity in their name during Eid-ul-Adha.
Is It Allowed in Islam?
Many Islamic scholars permit Qurbani on behalf of deceased Muslims, especially when it is done voluntarily as charity and remembrance. The intention should be sincere, and the sacrifice should be performed according to Islamic principles.
- Make the intention for the deceased person clearly.
- Choose a valid Qurbani animal or share.
- Ensure the sacrifice is done within Qurbani days.
- Distribute the meat to deserving people.
