Aqiqah for Families in Riyadh

Live in Riyadh and have a new baby you want to offer aqiqah for? You can order from your phone right now, the slaughter happens in Africa for families who need the meat, and you get a tracking page with a video within 48 hours naming your baby.

What makes organizing aqiqah yourself in Riyadh difficult?

The seventh day itself is usually busy with family visits and well-wishes, and at the same time you need to arrange the slaughter yourself, agree on a price, and follow up on distribution yourself or delegate it to someone else. In the middle of all that, tracking the details of the slaughter ends up last on your list, even though it should matter most.

What's actually different about ordering online instead of doing it myself?

Item	Doing it yourself	Ordering from Qurba
Your time	Arranging the slaughter and distribution yourself on an already busy day	Order from your phone in minutes, the slaughter happens in Africa and we handle the rest
Documentation	You rely on being told "it's done"	An actual video on a page dedicated to your order
Distribution	Down to you or whoever you delegate to verify	Distributed in full to families in need, documented
Cost	Varies by butcher and negotiation	Fixed price from the moment you order

Can I host family on the same day and still order online?

Yes, and this is one of the biggest reasons ordering online makes sense. You handle your guests and the household while staying assured the sacrifice itself is moving along its own separate track, without having to split your attention between guests and a slaughter you could not attend in person at that exact moment anyway.

Does that mean I'm not part of the occasion?

No, you can hold your celebration and receive your family in Riyadh as normal, while the aqiqah itself is slaughtered in Africa in parallel, then you share the video with your family from your order page once it is uploaded.

What if my family in Riyadh wants to see the slaughter with their own eyes?

This is an honest point you should know: if your family insists on the aqiqah being slaughtered in front of them in Riyadh, ordering online will not give them that. The video documents the execution and reassures them it actually happened, but it is not a substitute for attending in person for anyone who insists on it. The service suits people who value documentation and convenience more than physical attendance.

How do you order?

1. Choose aqiqah sheep, goat, or ram, whichever suits you.
2. Write the baby's name as you want it spoken.
3. Pay by card or Apple Pay.
4. The name is spoken on execution day, and the video is uploaded within 48 hours.

Our honest view: if you want to attend the slaughter yourself in Riyadh, that is a choice with its own value and we are not saying otherwise, but with us the slaughter happens in Africa, not in Riyadh. If what matters to you is documentation and confidence without spending your time arranging things, this is what Qurba is built for: you order from Riyadh, the sacrifice is slaughtered in Africa, its meat is distributed in full to families in need there, and the video reaches you on your order page.

Questions people ask

Can I order while in Riyadh and just follow up from my phone?

Yes, the entire order and follow-up happen from your phone, and you do not need to attend anything in person.

Is ordering from Riyadh faster than elsewhere?

No difference, there is one execution round for all orders, and orders placed before 4pm Saudi time enter the same day's round.

Can I order aqiqah for a boy and a girl together?

Yes, each order gets its own tracking page, or a shared one depending on the bundle you choose.

Can I see a sample before I order?

Yes, you can view a sample tracking page before deciding.

Does it matter if I order in the morning or evening?

No difference to the outcome, but orders placed before 4pm Saudi time enter the same day's execution round instead of the next day.
