Shukr Qurban in Turkey

Certainly! Here's the English version of the updated text, adapted to reflect your organization's Turkey-based Qurbani (sacrifice) operations:

We carry out the slaughter of your Adak (vow), Aqiqah, Thanksgiving (Shukr), and Charity (Sadaqah) sacrifices on your behalf and deliver the meat to impoverished households in Turkey.

Thanks to your support, we share in the joy of orphaned and needy children who suffer from malnutrition and whose homes rarely have access to meat throughout the year.

How does the sacrifice process work?

• Donors can send the share amount via bank transfer (Havale/EFT), online credit card donation, or by personally visiting our association center.

• İyilikhane purchases animals that meet Islamic criteria for Qurbani in the designated regions.

• The animals are slaughtered in accordance with Islamic rules. The meat from the Adak, Aqiqah, Shukr, or Sadaqah sacrifices is then portioned and distributed to those in need.

• After the sacrifice is completed, a text message is sent to the donor confirming the Qurbani.

• Photos of the sacrificed animal are sent within one week via SMS or email.

Q&A About Our Sacrifice Activities

1. How much does a Qurbani cost?
The share price for a small livestock sacrifice in Turkey is 17,000 TRY, or $420 USD.

2. What are the differences between Adak, Aqiqah, Shukr, and Sadaqah sacrifices?

All types of sacrifices are based on the same principle: offering an animal that meets Islamic requirements for the sake of Allah. The intention of the donor defines the type:

• Adak (Vow) Sacrifice: Performed when a person makes a vow to sacrifice an animal upon the fulfillment of a condition (e.g., “If I pass the exam, I will sacrifice an animal”). Once the condition is met, it becomes obligatory. The donor, their children, and parents should not consume the meat. It should be fully distributed to those in need.

• Aqiqah Sacrifice: A Sunnah act performed as a gesture of gratitude for the birth of a child. There is no fixed timing, but it is recommended to do so soon after birth or when financially possible.

• Shukr (Thanksgiving) Sacrifice: Done in gratitude for a specific blessing or favor received.

• Sadaqah (Charity) Sacrifice: Offered voluntarily to seek reward, provide aid, or as a form of prayer for protection from hardship.

3. How do I give my sacrifice authorization (wakalah)?
By donating for a sacrifice, you automatically give your authorization. In Islamic law, intention and consent are sufficient; verbal authorization is not required.

4. How do you choose the sacrifice regions?
We carry out these sacrifice activities in underprivileged neighborhoods across Turkey. As in all our projects, we focus on areas with difficult living conditions and direct your donations to identified orphans and families in need.

5. How will I know my sacrifice has been completed?
Once your sacrifice is performed, we send a confirmation SMS to the phone number you provided during donation.

6. Do you send photos or videos of the sacrifice?
Yes. Visuals of your sacrificed animal are sent to you within one week via SMS or email.

7. When will my sacrifice be performed?
Sacrifices are generally carried out within 2 days of donation. Depending on regional conditions, it may take up to 1 week, and the visuals are delivered within that timeframe.

8. How do you determine the sacrifice prices?
We calculate share prices based on livestock prices from different suppliers in the regions we operate in. We also include currency exchange rates, organizational, distribution, and logistics costs.

9. Why is sacrifice donation important?
We organize Qurbani operations in underprivileged areas across Turkey, delivering your kindness to families in need. Your donation helps fulfill your religious obligation while bringing joy and nourishment to children and households who rarely have access to meat.

10. Can I donate from abroad?
Yes. You can fill out the online donation form on our website and donate with your credit card. Alternatively, you can make an international SWIFT transfer to our bank accounts. Our USD, EUR, and GBP accounts at Albaraka Türk Participation Bank are SWIFT fee-free. More info at: bagis.iyilikhane.org.tr/banka
