Ibadah Korban FAQ

The ruling for qurban is sunnah muakkadah. It is sunnah for those who can afford it. And if you can afford to do it every year, hence you are welcome to do so, no ruling against it. Allah knows best.

The goal and aim of conducting kurban is clear, it is to be appreciative of the sustenance that Allah s.w.t has blessed us with throughout that year, and also it is to allow other people to feel the blessings from Allah s.w.t whilst having a stronger ties among the Ummah. As a result, giving the qurban meat to non-muslim does not go against with any of the aim as to why qurban is conducted, so according to Hanbali Mazhab, it is permissible to give the sunnah qurban meat as a gift to non-muslims but it isn’t permissible to give wajib qurban meat to non-muslims.

It is sunnah for people who want to perform the sacrifice (including those who intend to sacrifice before the month of Dzulhijjah), not to remove the hairs on their body and not to cut the nails. (This includes not cutting nor shaving hair, facial hair, hair at the underarms, hair at the private parts, and all the others.) The period that they shouldn’t do so is when it enters the first ten days of the month of Dzulhijjah until he/she performs the qurban. In the event the person who performs the sacrifice does so, the ruling is that it is makruh, not haram.

Henceforth, it is permissible to cut hair and nails if it interferes with making proper ablution and other obligations.
