Online Aqiqah for Residents in Turkey
Your baby has arrived while you are living in Turkey, and you want to offer aqiqah without hunting for a place to slaughter? Order from your phone in a few minutes. Qurba carries out the aqiqah in Africa and distributes the full meat to families in need, with prices starting at 449 SAR. You get a private order page with the execution video within 48 hours of the slaughter.
How do you order from Turkey?
There is no shipping and no delivery address, and everything happens from your phone. You choose the animal, write the baby's name in Arabic letters the way you want it pronounced, and then pay. After payment your order moves through four stages that you can follow on its private page.
- Received: your order page is built within seconds of payment, and its link is in your confirmation email and behind the “Track your order” button on the order status page.
- Execution scheduled: the page shows the day your order entered the slaughter queue.
- Carried out: the baby's name is spoken aloud before the slaughter and shown on a sign in the video.
- Distributed: the meat reaches families in need in Africa.
An order that reaches us before 4 pm Saudi time enters that day's queue or the next day's. The video is uploaded to your order page within 48 hours of the slaughter, not of the order.
Time: Turkey is on our clock
Turkey keeps the same time as Saudi Arabia all year. 4 pm for you is 4 pm for us, and there is nothing to calculate or adjust between summer and winter. One thing though: if you want to catch the seventh day after your baby's birth, order at least two days before it, because the day of slaughter is set by the queue and we cannot pin it to the hour. If the seventh day has already passed, read our article on the time of aqiqah.

|---|---|---|
| Aqiqah goat | 449 SAR | One sacrifice |
| Aqiqah sheep | 569 SAR | One sacrifice |

All prices are in Saudi riyals and you pay by card or Apple Pay. Your card's bank converts the amount from lira or from your account currency, so the figure on your statement may differ slightly depending on its exchange rate. If you would like to add a sadaqah to the aqiqah, there is a sadaqah sheep for 569 SAR.
Why is the slaughter in Africa?
We carry out the slaughter in Africa because the meat there reaches families who rarely have meat at home, and it is distributed in full with none of it coming back to you. To be honest, we cannot promise you a particular village or family, because the lists of families in need change from week to week. What we commit to is that the slaughter is documented in a video in your baby's name. The ruling on aqiqah outside the baby's own country is explained with the fatwas in our article on aqiqah and qurbani outside your country, and the details of the service are on the aqiqah outside Saudi Arabia page.
What if the video is late?
If the video is late past 48 hours from the slaughter, you choose between having the sacrifice re-done or a full refund to the same payment method. You can cancel before your order enters the “Carried out” stage and get the full amount back. After the slaughter there is no cancellation, apart from the video guarantee described above.
Questions people ask
Can I pay with a Turkish bank card?
Yes, if your bank allows online payments in a foreign currency. The price is in Saudi riyals and your bank converts it. If it declines the payment, call the bank and check that setting.
Do I need an address in Turkey?
No, there is no shipping at all. Everything happens on your private order page.
My baby's name is Turkish or written in Latin letters, what should I do?
Write it in Arabic letters the way you want it pronounced. That is the name spoken before the slaughter and shown on the sign in the video.
Is there a time difference between Turkey and Saudi Arabia?
No, it is the same time all year. The order cutoff is 4 pm Saudi time, which is 4 pm for you.
When do I see the video?
Within 48 hours of the slaughter, on your private order page. If it is late past that, you choose between having the sacrifice re-done or a full refund.
My baby is more than a week old, does aqiqah still work?
The article on the time of aqiqah explains this in detail, including when the preferred timing applies and when aqiqah still counts after it. Read it, and if anything remains in your mind, ask trusted scholars where you live.
