The animals used are livestock animals, such as sheep, goats, cows, or buffalo. 1 sheep or goat = 1 Qurban 1 cow or buffalo = 7 Qurbans (one Qurban –one-seventh of the animal) Since the selection of animals depends on the availability and customs of each region, we do not provide the option of selecting your animal of choice at the time of donation. Animals are instead pre-allocated within each region. We ensure that the animals are healthy, free from blindness and chronic sickness or disease or from any apparent ailment, and that they are of a fit age.
