Who must offer qurbani?

Two commonly encountered views

The Jordan General Iftaa Department reports that the majority of scholars regard udhiyah as a confirmed Sunnah for those who are able. It also reports the Hanafi view of obligation for a financially capable, resident Muslim, alongside another reported view from Imam Malik.

These are summaries, not complete eligibility tests. Terms such as ability, residence and financial means require interpretation within a school. A general article cannot establish how each condition applies to a particular person.^[1]

Prepare the facts, not a guessed threshold

Before asking a scholar, write down the circumstances you need help with. Explain whether you are travelling, how household finances are held, and any debts or essential expenses relevant to the question.

Do not use an old rupee figure from a forwarded message as a current religious threshold. This site does not publish an eligibility calculator or infer obligation from a booking amount. Its share calculator only divides entered costs.

• Ask which scholarly view is being applied and why.
• Clarify whether advice concerns you individually or a household arrangement.
• Mention any vow, unusual ownership arrangement or intention to act for someone else.

Keep family discussions respectful

Different answers can reflect different recognised approaches rather than carelessness. Avoid pressuring relatives to disclose their savings or judging them by whether they purchase an animal.

Resolve religious questions before treating a budget or group-share plan as final. If your circumstances change, return to the scholar with the new facts rather than treating this general overview as a personal decision.
