We are Proud to bring you Qurbani / Udhiyya Experience for 2024 - Thank you for your continued support.
We continue to improve your Experience with Qurbani and this year we are introducing Pick-up Time Slots based on a limited number of orders per TimeSlots.
We have provided Qurbani / Udhiyah Service in the GTA for over 25 years and have now brought this service online to reach more of our community.
Qurbani is Compulsory (Waajib) for every Muslim male and female who:
- Has attained puberty
- Is of sound mind (not insane)
- Possesses Nisaab for that moment in time, not necessarily for one Islamic calendar year (Nisaab is the value of excess wealth which makes a Muslim liable for Zakaah i.e. The possession of, or equivalent capital value of seven and a half tolas gold (87.48 grams) or fifty-two tolas of silver (612.32 grams)
The Qurbani Animal also has to fulfill some of these basic conditions:
- Goat, either male or female, if six months old and over, the animal must look like one year old. Beef that are one year old and over are preferred for sacrifice.
- Cow, Ox, or Buffalo, of at least two years old. These animals count as seven shares.
- The Animal cannot have any physical disability such as bad or impaired vision, extremely weak animal, etc.
We take reservations for the Qurbani or Udhiyah from about a month in advance. We will also collect information of what day and what time you would like the meat to be delivered or picked up. On the day of Qurbani, we ourselves offer prayer at the local masjid and head to the slaughterhouse for the slaughtering of the animals on that day. Ontario Health Ministries only allow shipping out of fresh same-day carcasses for the Qurbani purpose. We bring back all the orders to our Mississauga location. This year we will not be able to accommodate anyone at the slaughterhouse but you can still visit us at our store for getting involved in this beautiful tradition of the Prophet Ibraheem (A.S).
Once the meat has arrived at our butcher shop located in Mississauga at 1111 Britannia Rd East, We start cutting and packing all the fresh meat firsthand.
For Goat they are cut up into medium pieces or as you have directed in your order.
You can provide us with instructions about how the meat should be cut and bagged. It is a common practice to divide the Qurbani into 3 portions:
- For the Poor and Under Privileged,
- For close family and friends
- For your home
Our customers often leave the donation portion with us to distribute which is delivered to the Muslim Welfare Centre as well as the Salvation Army.
