Shukr Qurban in Turkey

By performing the slaughter of your Adaq (vowed), Aqiqah, or Shukr (gratitude) qurbani on your behalf, we distribute the meat to impoverished households in Türkiye. Your support helps bring joy to orphaned and needy children, who rarely have the opportunity to eat meat throughout the year and face malnutrition.

How Does the Qurbani Process Work?

1. Donors can send their qurbani shares by transferring the share amount to our bank accounts via wire transfer or EFT, donating online with a credit card, or by personally delivering their donation to our association center.
2. In the regions where İyilikhane operates, animals suitable for qurbani are purchased according to the necessary criteria for the qurbani ritual. The slaughtering process begins on the first day of Eid al-Adha, right after the Eid prayer, and continues until the third day of Eid. The qurbani is performed according to Islamic principles. The Wajib (obligatory), Adaq (vowed), aqiqah, or Shukr (gratitude) qurbani are divided into shares and distributed to those in need.
3. After the qurbani slaughters are completed, our association informs the qurbani donors via a text message. Visuals of the slaughtered qurbani are sent to the donors within a week, either by text message or email.

4. What do you consider when identifying and working in impoverished regions for qurbani?

This year, we are conducting our qurbani activities in impoverished neighborhoods of Istanbul and villages in Africa/Tanzania. As in all our activities, we deliver your donations to orphans and children in need and their families in areas with harsh living conditions. In Istanbul, our social review teams go door-to-door throughout the year to identify the needs of households, and we provide various social assistance to families based on specific criteria and evaluations. We deliver your qurbani to the households of verified orphans and children in need. In Tanzania, we conduct our qurbani activities in impoverished areas with the contributions of our partner organizations, preparing detailed reports for each region before and after Eid al-Adha.

After the process is completed, we send an SMS notification to the phone number you provided during the donation process, informing you that your qurbani has been slaughtered and distributed.
