If you are unable to afford Qurbani, you are not obligated to perform it. Qurbani is a voluntary act of worship, and financial hardship is a valid reason to abstain.
Here are some important points to consider:
- Financial Capability: Qurbani is a Sunnah (recommended practice) and not obligatory. It becomes obligatory only if one has the means to do so.
- Alternative Acts of Worship: If you cannot afford Qurbani, you can still engage in other acts of worship, such as offering charity (Sadaqah) or performing Hajj.
- Seeking Guidance: If you are unsure about your financial situation, consult with a qualified Islamic scholar for guidance.
Remember, Allah SWT is Most Merciful and understands our circumstances.
