SAFFRON ALLEY'S QURBANI
Qurbani is not just a purchase. It is an act of worship, and every element of how we handle it reflects that.
Our Qurbani lambs are grass-fed and free-range, processed using the traditional hand zabiha method - unstunned, and carried out with the care and intention the act deserves. Not just halal, but Tayyib in the fullest sense of the word.
We do not use the Eid chilling exemption. Every lamb is chilled to 2°C within eight hours of slaughter - the same standard we hold year-round - ensuring maximum freshness, a full shelf life, and meat you can trust from the moment it arrives at your door.
That standard does not change for the portion that goes to those in need. You can choose to have a third or the whole of your Qurbani meat delivered to one of our UK charity partners. Our charity partners receive the same quality meat as you do - because an obligation fulfilled with an inferior product is not truly fulfilled at all.
"Never will you attain the good until you spend from that which you love." (Qur'an 3:92)
ABOUT YOUR QURBANI
What is Qurbani?
Qurbani is the ritual sacrifice performed during Eid al-Adha, commemorating the devotion of Prophet Ibrahim (AS). It is an act of worship carried out after the Eid prayer on the 10th of Dhul Hijjah - expected to fall on Wednesday 27th May 2026 in the UK, subject to moon sighting. The meat is traditionally divided into three parts: one third for your family, one third for relatives and friends, and one third for those in need.
Why the Animal's Life Matters
In Islamic ethics, food must be halal and Tayyib - pure and wholesome in its entirety. That standard begins long before slaughter. Our Qurbani lambs are grass-fed and free-range, raised on open pasture without growth hormones or routine antibiotics. They meet and exceed the minimum age and health requirements for Qurbani, and are selected for natural health and resilience - animals raised to thrive, not merely to fulfil an obligation.
Hand Zabiha. Unstunned. Every time.
Every Saffron Alley Qurbani lamb is processed using the traditional hand zabiha method. Unstunned slaughter carried out with full Islamic intention. This is not a seasonal concession - it is how we process all of our lamb, year-round.
The Chilling Standard other Suppliers Do Not Talk About
UK law permits an exemption during the three days of Eid al-Adha, allowing Qurbani carcasses to bypass the standard chilling process and pass directly to point of sale without being brought to temperature. We do not use this exemption. Every lamb is chilled to 2°C within eight hours of slaughter - ensuring the freshness, flavour, and shelf life your family deserves, and that your charity recipients receive meat of equal quality to your own.
