Book your Eid 2026 sheep at the last minute

⏳ Yes, it's still possible

Contrary to popular belief, booking your sheep in the final week — or even the very night before Eid — is entirely possible as long as spots are available. At Qurbaniya, the real-time counter on the homepage shows available stock. Bookings automatically close on 27 May 2026 at 3 AM (Paris time), a few hours before the sacrifice.

⚡ The 2-minute booking flow

The process is intentionally short because most bookings happen on mobile — from work, the subway, or the lunch break:

1. 1Fill in the form — first name, last name, email, WhatsApp number (to receive the video), intention (for yourself, family, or sadaqah), niyyah (name pronounced during the sacrifice).
2. 2Credit card payment — €140 all inclusive via secure Stripe (Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, Google Pay).
3. 3Instant email confirmation — your spot is secured. The sacrifice will be performed on 27 May in your name.
4. 4Personalised video within 24 hours — you receive the video proof on WhatsApp with your name pronounced during the tasmiyah.

✅ Why delegation stays valid at the last minute

Tawkil (delegation of the sacrifice) is recognised by the four Sunni schools of jurisprudence (Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi'i, Hanbali). It dates back to the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ — several of them delegated their own sacrifice during their lifetime.

From a religious perspective, what matters is:

• The sincere intention (niyyah) in the name of the principal.
• A compliant animal (minimum age, good health, no defects).
• The ritual slaughter performed by a Muslim, according to the Sunnah.
• The sacrifice carried out between 27 and 30 May 2026 inclusive.
• The distribution of the meat (family, relatives, people in need).

All of this is guaranteed by Qurbaniya, whether you book 3 months or 3 days before Eid.

💡 Tips to avoid mistakes at the last minute

• 📱 Prepare your credit card in advance — check the limit with your bank (€140 should not be a problem, but some prepaid cards may be declined).
• 📞 Double-check your WhatsApp number — the video will arrive there, so enter exactly the number where you want to receive it.
• 🤲 Prepare your niyyah — decide in advance in whose name the sacrifice is offered (yourself, your father, your mother, your family, sadaqah for a deceased person).
• 💬 Save the support number — if you have any doubt after your order, you can message us on WhatsApp and we reply the same day.
• 📧 Check your spam folder — the email confirmation comes from noreply@qurbaniya.fr. It is sometimes filtered, so don't panic.

🐑 What if I want to compare first?

If you're weighing buying a live sheep in France (€350-450 + slaughtering paperwork) against delegating online (€140 all inclusive), our full guide to sheep prices in 2026 covers it all: Islamic criteria, hidden costs, compliance comparison.

At D-15 before Eid, most local breeders no longer have sheep available or have hiked their prices. Delegation remains the most accessible option.
