Online Aqiqah for Residents in the UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain and Oman
Living in the UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain or Oman and your baby has arrived? Order aqiqah from your phone with no shipping. Qurba carries it out in Africa and distributes the full meat to families in need, with prices starting at 449 SAR. The video of the slaughter in your baby's name reaches you on a private order page within 48 hours of the slaughter.
How does ordering work from the Gulf?
Open the page on your phone, choose the animal, and write the baby's name the way you want people to hear it. Then pay, and a private link opens for your order with four stages to follow.
- Received: we have your payment and your order page is open, with its link in your confirmation email.
- Execution scheduled: we write the day of the slaughter on your page, the day only and not the hour.
- Carried out: the name is spoken aloud before the slaughter, and you see it written on a sign in the video.
- Distributed: the meat goes to families in need in Africa.
Any order before 4 pm Saudi time enters that day's queue or the next day's. The video appears on your page within 48 hours of the slaughter.
Time differences across the Gulf
Kuwait and Qatar are on our time exactly, and Bahrain is the same. The UAE and Oman are one hour ahead of us, so 4 pm Saudi time is 5 pm for you, and anyone who wants to make that day's queue should pay well before it. There is no daylight saving time in these countries, so the gap stays fixed all year. One calculation and you are done.

Prices are in Saudi riyals, and you pay by card or Apple Pay. Your card's bank converts the amount into your country's currency, so any small difference from the listed price comes from its exchange rate. We also offer a sadaqah sheep for 569 SAR if you would like to give charity alongside the celebration.
You live close to Saudi Arabia, so why order from Qurba?
If you can slaughter at home, share the meat with family and neighbors, and witness it yourself, that is better for you, and we say so plainly in our article on aqiqah and qurbani outside your country. Qurba is for people who want their meat to reach families in greater need than those around them, or who have nowhere to slaughter. Our limits are clear: we cannot promise a particular village or family, because the lists of families in need change from week to week. All the details of the service are on the aqiqah outside Saudi Arabia page.
The guarantee
Our video has a deadline. If it is late past 48 hours from the slaughter, you choose between having the sacrifice re-done or a full refund. Cancelling before the “Carried out” stage returns your full amount to the same payment method.
Questions people ask
Are the prices the same across the Gulf?
Yes, prices are in Saudi riyals for every order, and the only difference is the exchange rate at your card's bank.
What is the time difference between the UAE, Oman and Saudi Arabia?
One hour. 4 pm Saudi time is 5 pm in the UAE and Oman, and the same hour in Kuwait, Qatar and Bahrain.
Which currency do I pay in?
The price is in Saudi riyals and you pay by card or Apple Pay, and your bank converts the amount into your country's currency. We do not ask for a shipping address.
Can I choose the hour of the slaughter?
No, we give you the day only. You see the execution in the video once it is uploaded to your order page.
Do I need to attend the slaughter?
There is no attendance requirement. What matters is the correct name and intention, and the video documents the execution on your behalf.
Can I cancel my order?
You can before it enters the “Carried out” stage, and you get the full amount back. After the slaughter there is no cancellation, apart from the video guarantee above.
