Qurban in Accordance with Sharia with Wider Impact: From Livestock Selection to Distribution

As Iduladha approaches, many people begin preparing for qurban. Usually, the process starts with selecting the livestock and deciding where it will be distributed. However, one important aspect is often overlooked, ensuring that qurban is carried out in accordance with sharia while also creating meaningful benefits for recipients.

Qurban does not end with the slaughtering process. Every stage has its role, from livestock selection to distribution. When every process is managed properly, qurban becomes not only valid in worship, but also more impactful for wider communities.

Maintaining the Quality of Qurban in Accordance with Sharia

Selecting the livestock is an important first step. Rasulullah SAW explained:

“There are four types of animals that are not permissible for qurban: an animal that is clearly blind in one eye, an animal that is clearly sick, an animal that is clearly lame, and an animal that is extremely thin.” (HR Abu Dawud No. 2802)

This guidance emphasizes that the quality of the livestock is part of the worship itself. Therefore, it is important to ensure the animals are healthy and suitable, not only at the time of purchase, but also leading up to the slaughtering day.

Human Initiative maintains this process through its Quality Control team, which conducts direct inspections in the field. The team carries out checks two months before and one day before slaughtering. Through these measures, the condition of the livestock remains monitored and aligned with sharia standards until the day of implementation.

Distribution That Creates Wider Impact

Beyond livestock quality, the direction of distribution also deserves attention. In some areas, qurban distribution often accumulates in one place, while other regions still face limited access to meat. The Sebar Qurban program helps direct distribution more evenly toward communities that truly need it.

Human Initiative prepares the distribution plan from the beginning through this program. This year, the qurban program targets around 309,000 beneficiaries across Indonesia and several other countries. This target helps qurban reach areas with limited food access so the benefits are not concentrated in only a few locations.

In some communities, meat is still not part of regular daily consumption. Qurban can help improve nutritional intake while also bringing joy during Iduladha. Through a more targeted approach, the Sebar Qurban program seeks to ensure that every distribution truly reaches those in need.

Togetherness makes every step feel lighter. When more people become involved, the reach of the benefits grows wider and becomes more targeted.

Preparing qurban from now helps ensure the process runs properly from the beginning through distribution. Through Human Initiative, you can participate via solusipeduli.org to distribute qurban in a more purposeful way, so its benefits can reach more recipients.
