Qurbani (Voluntary/ Sadaqah)

“The flesh and blood [of your sacrificed animals] does not reach Allah; it is only your piety that reaches Him" - Surah Al-Hajj, Verse 37
This is identical to the qurbani or udhiyah, the only difference being that this is not an obligatory act. The rewards are the same and the benefits include feeding the poor.
This service is available for aqeeqah (sacrifice in gratitude at the birth of a child), walimah (sacrifice in gratitude at the time of marriage), and all other supererogatory sacrifices.
The slaughter of a small domestic grazing animal such as a sheep, ram, or goat suffices for one person, and a large domestic grazing animal such as a cow, buffalo, or camel suffices for seven people.
In addition to it being a sunnah of the Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him), the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) has said that the person making such a sacrifice receives a reward equal to every hair of the sacrificed animal.
UWT performs voluntary animal sacrifices in Pakistan.
