An important question arises every year — is Sadaqah Qurbani obligatory for a sick person?
In Islam, Qurbani or Udhiyah is a sacred act of devotion performed during Eid ul Adha, symbolizing the obedience and submission shown by Prophet Ibrahim (A.S.) when he was commanded by Allah to sacrifice his beloved son. This act represents purity of trust and compassion towards humanity.
Many individuals who are suffering from chronic illness, temporary weakness, or are bedridden wonder whether they must perform or donate Qurbani during Eid ul Adha 2026.
Let’s explore this in depth through Islamic teachings, scholarly opinions, and practical examples from Qurbani Easy — India’s most transparent online Qurbani platform.
What is Sadaqah Qurbani?
Sadaqah Qurbani is a form of charity sacrifice performed on behalf of a person — often due to illness, old age, or inability to perform the act themselves. It may also be offered by family members to seek Allah’s mercy and blessings for a loved one who is sick.
It is not the same as the Wajib (obligatory) Eid ul Adha Qurbani, which becomes mandatory for those who are financially capable (Nisab holders). Instead, Sadaqah Qurbani is a voluntary act, a means to give charity through sacrifice, hoping for Shifa (healing) and Barakah (blessing).
At Qurbani Easy thousands of families in cities such as Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Pune, Surat, Madurai, Kannur, and Nagpur perform sadaqah qurbani online for their beloved ones each year
Is Qurbani Obligatory for a Sick Person?
According to Islamic scholars and fuqaha (jurists), the duty of qurbani depends on financial capacity and physical health.
Reference from hadith:
The Prophet Muhammad (peace is upon him) said:
“There is no deed dearer to Allah during the days of sacrifice than shedding the blood of an animal.”
(Tirmidhi 1493)
But scholars explain that this applies only to those who are financially and physically able.
Hence, if a person is sick and cannot personally perform qurbani, it is not obligatory upon them.
However, their family can still donate qurbani online or order sadaqah qurbani through a trusted platform like Qurbani Easy India.
This act is mustahabb (highly recommended), not compulsory

The Prophet (peace be upon him) also said:
“Treat your sick by giving charity.” (Bayhaqi)
Therefore offering Sadaqah Qurbani can be a form of treatment, a way to invoke Allah’s mercy and seek recovery.

How is Sadaqah Qurbani Performed?

Qur’an: “Never will you attain righteousness until you spend [in the way of Allah] from that which you love.” (Surah Aal-e-Imran, 3:92)
