KUALA LUMPUR, June 3 — With Hari Raya Aidiladha just around the corner, many Muslim Malaysians are opting to perform their Korban abroad – and several local organisations are making that easier than ever.
While it is encouraged to perform the sacrificial rites locally, Islamic scholars permit Muslims to do Korban overseas, especially in areas facing conflict or poverty.
Here are four NGOs and companies offering international Korban services this year. You might want to hurry, some of these programmes end at midnight today.
1. EZ Korban
EZ Korban Sdn Bhd has been active since 2007 and has performed over 171,000 Korban in 40 countries.
This year, they offer four packages:
- Korban Global: RM330 for one-seventh of a cow or RM550 for a goat, done in 37 countries (assigned by EZ Korban).
- Korban Lokal: RM765 per cow portion or RM999 per goat, done in selected Malaysian states.
- Korban Syria: RM1,500 for either a goat or a cow portion, performed in Syria.
- Korban Palestin: RM950 for one-seventh of a buffalo; meat is frozen and shipped into Palestine.
