About sacrifice in Makkah
The four terms (Dam, Fidyah, Kaffarah, Qurbani) cover very different situations even though they share the same physical act. Most of our customers know which category applies to them before they place the order. Some do not. If you are not sure, please consult a trusted scholar before ordering.
How a sacrifice order works
You select the type of sacrifice from the variant options (Hajj Zabiha, Eid-ul-Adha Qurbani, Dam, Sadaqah, or Aqeeqa) and the city (Makkah). You add the name(s) the sacrifice is for in order notes at checkout. We coordinate the sacrifice through our local partner network within the appropriate window for the season. You receive a written confirmation once complete, and where practical a short video clip as proof.
Timing notes
Eid-ul-Adha Qurbani is performed on the assigned Eid days (10, 11 and 12 Dhul Hijjah). Hajj Zabiha is tied to the Hajj season. Dam, Kaffarah, and Sadaqah sacrifices can be arranged across the year. During peak Eid days, scheduling is busy and exact timing varies.
Our editorial guide Dam, Fidyah, Kaffarah and Qurbani: Which One Do You Actually Need? can help you think through which one applies. For operational details, see the Trust and Process page.
