Question Summary: Ghair matlooba qurbani? Question Detail:
during Eid ul adha, since the last couple of years we are witnessing a new concept called ghair matlooba qurbani, in which money is paid by a person and qurbani is carried out a place where he cannot participate or witness the qurbani and the meat is distributed among poor people. Is this type of qurbain valid?
Answer :
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh. We do not understand what you mean by matlooba and ghair matlooba qurbani. Ghair matlooba literally means not required. You are probably referring to nafil qurbani. There are many welfare organisations that are working tirelessly to fulfil the basic needs of the poor and underprivileged in various places around the world especially those that have become victims of the political turmoil in their countries, like Syria etc. If by ghair matlooba qurbani, nafil qurbani is meant, then to do the qurbani abroad and give the meat to the poor and needy people there is an act of virtue. [1] In the case of compulsory (matlooba) qurbani, it is advisable to do it personally or witness the qurbani being done.
