International Islamic Youth League IIYL has a set criteria and scoring systems in place to determine Qurbani recipients. The scoring system is based on the following criteria:
 Families who live on less than the minimum income for that particular country
 Female-headed households
 Families with disabled and/or elderly persons
 Children under five years old
 Pregnant women
 Breastfeeding mothers
 Families with little or no access to the market
A thorough assessment is therefore carried out by our teams to objectively identify the weighting and priority of each of the above criteria. These are then applied when selecting recipient families to ensure we reach the most vulnerable without bias.

According to most Muslims, Qurbani is highly recommended and according to the Hanafi madhab, it is obligatory upon every sane adult Muslim male/female that has wealth in excess to his/her needs. Therefore, normally those who are eligible to pay Zakat are obliged to give Qurbani.

Qurbani in June 28th will be performed after the Eid Salah in each field office. The slaughter will take place from after the Eid prayer on Eid al-Adha (10th Dhul Hijjah) and ends up to sunset of the 13th Dhul Hijjah. There is a difference of opinion amongst the scholars as to whether Qurbani can be done over three or four days. To respect this difference of opinion, International Islamic Youth League IIYL strives to perform Qurbani in three days. However, we only extend into the fourth day in localities where this is religiously accepted by the local Muslim population. And if there is an operational need for this extra day.
If you give a Qurbani on any of these days, the Qurbani will still be carried out in time, as International Islamic Youth League IIYL has already purchased the animals to be slaughtered beforehand.

Eid al-Adha is sometimes referred to as Qurbani Eid, and follows the completion of the annual Hajj pilgrimage. Depending on the country, the celebrations of Eid al-Adha (10th Dhul Hijjah) can last anywhere between two and four days. The Qurbani (sacrifice) is carried out following the Eid prayers, which are performed in congregation.

High Quality – Since Qurbani is an act of worship that is the most beloved to Allah (SWT) during the days of Tashreek, it is important that one offers the best possible offering. Therefore International Islamic Youth League IIYL adopts high quality standards when it comes to selecting the sacrificial animals. Standards cover health, weight (meat yielded) and age.

High Standards – We would also like our brothers and sisters around the world to receive the best quality meat because the believer is asked to love for his brother/sister that which he/she loves for him/her. These high standards therefore come at a higher cost which in turn further supports economic development of our Qurbani farmers.
Transporting Qurbani to hard-to-reach areas – International Islamic Youth League IIYL always tries to reach the most vulnerable people in the most remote areas where the communities are hard to reach. However, transporting meat to hard-to-reach rural areas incurs higher transportation costs which in turn affect the Qurbani price. Conflict or disasters can make distribution more difficult and can add to the cost.

Last year alone, your donations enabled us to provide quality meat to over 3.4 million vulnerable people around the world in countries such as Sierra Leone, Ghana, Mali, Senegal, the Gambia, Liberia, Togo, Benin, Cameroon, Central African Republic CAR, Uganda and Chad.
Alhamdulillah, your donations provided a critical source of protein to vulnerable families and individuals across the globe.
Here at International Islamic Youth League IIYL, we ensure that only the best quality meat is used – all sacrificed according to Prophetic tradition. We therefore don’t compromise on quality and we deal with local suppliers to help local economies flourish.
So as we remember the struggle and dedication of Prophet Ibrahim (AS) to sacrifice for the sake of Allah, make your sacrifice with International Islamic Youth League IIYL and support a family in need.
