Qurbani FAQ’s (5/14)
Question
Is Qurbani necessary for a child, and, if so, can their parents perform it on their behalf?
Answer
Qurbani is not necessary upon a child whether they are wealthy or not, nor is it necessary upon their parents/guardians to perform it on their behalf. However, if it is done on their behalf, the Qurbani will be valid, and they will receive the reward for it.
