2. How can I give my qurbani proxy?

You can give your proxy through our website by credit card, via EFT/bank transfer to our bank accounts, in person at our headquarters or branches, or verbally through our phone line at 0212 414 60 60.

3. How are qurbani share prices determined?

Share prices are determined at the most reasonable level for our donors by taking into account the market prices in the regions where the sacrificial animals are procured, as well as slaughtering, transportation, storage, and distribution costs.

4. When are the qurbanis slaughtered?

Your qurbanis are slaughtered after the Eid prayer, in accordance with fatwas in the Islamic world, on the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd day of Eid. The distribution process does not begin before the slaughtering procedures are completed.

5. How will I be informed that my qurbani has been slaughtered?

As soon as your qurbani is slaughtered, an SMS stating "Your qurbani has been slaughtered" is sent to the mobile phone number registered in our system.

Qurbani meat is distributed primarily to orphan families, as well as widows, the elderly, people with disabilities, and those in need who have limited access to food due to war, natural disasters, or chronic poverty.

7. Should I donate domestically or internationally?

This is entirely your preference. If you wish to reach those in need in Anatolia, you may choose the domestic option; if you wish to extend a helping hand to regions where hunger and hardship are severe, you may choose our international options such as Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and others.

8. Apart from obligatory qurbani, what types of sacrifice can I donate?

For donations made through banks, it is very important to write "Qurbani Share Donation," along with the donor’s name, surname, and contact number in the description section to facilitate tracking.
