Is Donating Qurban Abroad Permissible?
According to the Presidency of Religious Affairs and Islamic scholars, it is permissible for a person to have their Qurban slaughtered by proxy for those in need abroad. What is essential in the act of Qurban is that the intention be sincere and that the Qurban be slaughtered properly and delivered to those in need. Qurbans sent in particular to regions living on the brink of starvation or to war victims are considered quite meritorious in religion.
How Much Is the 2026 Qurban Fee Abroad?
The 2026 Qurban fee has been determined according to the logistical conditions of the region where the operation will take place and the type of animal. As Kardeşim Association, the current fees we have set in accordance with our donors' intentions are as follows:
| Qurban Type and Region | Share / Single Qurban Fee |
|---|---|
| Africa Cattle Share | 4,500 TRY |
| Abroad Ram (Small Livestock) | 8,000 TRY |
| Egypt Cattle Share (Gaza-Focused) | 13,000 TRY |
| Turkey Small Livestock Qurban | 15,000 TRY |
(These fixed fees cover the entire process: the procurement of the sacrificial animal, its slaughter according to Islamic procedures, its distribution, and the video notification services.)
A Bridge of Brotherhood to Gaza via Egypt
Due to the heavy blockade and logistical difficulties continuing in Gaza, as Kardeşim Association we carry out our Qurban activities in Egypt, the closest and safest point to the region. The Egypt cattle shares you donate for a fee of 13,000 TRY are slaughtered according to Islamic procedures under the supervision of our partner organizations in Egypt and our teams on the field. The meat of these slaughtered Qurbans is delivered fresh and firsthand to thousands of our brothers and sisters from Gaza who, because of the war, have been forced to leave their homes and take refuge at the Gaza border and in refugee camps in Egypt. Your trust, overcoming physical obstacles, becomes a measure of relief directly for the oppressed children of Gaza, and abundance for their tables.

Diyanet Fatwa: Is It Necessary to Call for Proxy?
To set our donors' minds at ease regarding the proxy process, the clearest answer is decision no. 2018/31 of the High Board of Religious Affairs. Based on this decision, when the Qurban fee is transferred to institutions that receive Qurban donations, the donor is considered, in terms of jurisprudence, to have also granted proxy.
In other words, the moment you deliver the Qurban fee to our association through our website or via bank (EFT/wire transfer), your proxy transaction is religiously completed. There is no need to grant proxy again by extra phone call, email, or message. Nevertheless, donors who wish to feel more at ease in conscience and to make a verbal declaration may, whenever they wish, call our association and make a proxy declaration through our call center.
Why Should You Appoint the Kardeşim Association as Your Proxy?
The greatest sensitivity when granting proxy abroad is transparency. The fundamental elements that set our association apart are as follows:
- As your Qurban is slaughtered, your name is read aloud and the video recording of this moment is sent to you via WhatsApp.
- Your trusts are delivered firsthand to poor villages in Africa and to Gaza refugees via Egypt.
- When the slaughter takes place, an instant SMS notification is sent to you.
You too can confidently grant your proxy during the 2026 Qurban season or on any day of the year, and become a prayer at the table of the oppressed with your intentions of obligatory (wajib), votive (adak), aqiqah, and thanksgiving.
