Intro
In 1900 (Feb-2), on the day of Eid-al-Fitr, MGA prayed for the success of the British Government in general and specifically in the war of Transvaal (See RK-15, Ruadad-Jalsa-Dua, page 596-Urdu and “Proceedings of the Prayers Meeting” (page 3). No Qurbani was announced in Qadian.
In 1907 (Feb), MGA was asked about Qurbani by an Ahmadi and this entire exchange was published in the local Ahmadi newspaper from Qadian (See Badr, vol. 6, no. 7, p. 8, dated 14 February 1907 and Via Malfuzat-9, online English edition, pages 130-131). This Ahmadi told MGA that he had joined “Muslims” in Qurbani via buying a share of a cow, however, the Muslims found out he was an Ahmadi and removed him from the Qurbani and refunded his money. This Ahmadi asked MGA if he could send the money to Qadian as money for the needy and would this suffice as “Qurbani”. MGA then gave a legal ruling (fatwa) and alleged that a qurbani can only be done by sacrificing an animal and not by contributing to the fund for the needy. If that amount is sufficient then slaughter a goat as an offering. If it is insufficient and you cannot afford more, then such a sacrificial offering is not obligatory upon you. In addition to this, MGA found out that an Ahmadi was working with Muslims and trying to share in Qurbani and was upset and scoffed at the idea. MGA reminded the Ahmadi that Muslims do Takfeer of you and MGA was explaining how it was hypocritical to have done so in the first place. MGA didn’t understand this behavior at all (See also on 6-14-24, Bro Imtiaz with Ak Shaikh, 2:53:57 time stamp).
In 1907 (Mar-14), MGA was asked a series of questions from an Ahmadi, one question was whether it is lawful to sacrifice an animal for the fulfilment of an objective, or for the fertility of land or by way of chath [a qurbani offered on the sixth night of the lunar month]. MGA said: ‘It is not lawful (See Badr, vol. 6, no. 11, p. 5, dated 14 March 1907, Malfuzat-9, online English edition, page 175).
In 1947, Mirza Basheer ud Din Mahmud Ahmad, the sitting Khalifa said that “Today, a person can obtain the attribute of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) by being ready to offer a sacrifice.”, he also said that “The one who sacrifices a goat will achieve the attribute of the Prophet (peace be upon him” (See “Anwar-ul-Aloom” (انوار العلوم), Date: December 5, 1947 (5 December 1947), Volume and Issue: Volume 28, Issue 434)(See scans in the below).
In 1952, in Rabwah, and via the recollections of Rashid Ahmad, the Ahmadi pseudo Maulvi who was hired and groomed to be a loyalist alleged that in April-22-1952, with Nusrat Jehan (MGA’s widow) was about to die, A qurbani [Urdu: sacrifice] of a camel was given to the poor. The price of this camel was 140 rupees. A Pathan who was present at the distribution of the meat said the price for this camel was very cheap compared to its cost in his country. He said no one would sell this type of a camel for less than 185 rupees (See page 92). Nevertheless, Nusrat Jehan (MGA’s widow) died on Apr-20 and was buried on Apr-22-1952, thus, the dates of Rashid Ahmad seem to be off.
In the 1990’s, Mirza Tahir Ahmad contradicted MGA in the 1990’s. We have found a question-answer session of Mirza Tahir Ahmad wherein he says that Qurbani is only mandatory (fardh) when someone is doing Hajj. Mirza Tahir Ahmad quoted 22:37 (22:38 in the Qadiani Quran) of the Quran in 1997 and emphatically gave his fatwa. Moreover, the Ahmadiyya Movement never sacrificed animals for Eid Al-Adha and instead told Ahmadi’s to give the Mirza family the money (MGA was against this practice). We don’t have any records of qurbani at Qadian or Rabwah (we have found video’s of Ahmadi’s getting ready to kill goats in Rabwah, which seems to be against the law). We think that the British Government may have frowned on Muslims doing Qurbani (since Hindus were offended by it). It should be noted how MGA never fasted during ramadhan and never paid any fidya (eid tax for the poor). Check out Shams ud Din’s video on this topic too.
Sheikh Assim Al Hakeem explains herein how in the Hanafi Fiqh, if someone has the money, Qurbani is mandatory, this was the opinion of Imam Abu Hanifa (also Taymiyya, Imam Malik and Imam Ahmad). Abu Hurraira said that anyone who is financially capable, it is mandatory upon that person to do Qurbani.
The word qurban appears thrice in the Qur‘an: once in reference to animal sacrifice and twice referring to sacrifice in the general sense of any act which may bring one closer to God. In contrast, dhabīḥah refers to normal Islamic slaughter outside the day of udhiyyah. In hadiths regarding the qurban offered during Eid al-Adha, forms of the word udhiyah are often used interchangeably with qurban.
In 2024 (Jun-14), Mirza Ghulam Ahmad advised his Qadiani followers to never ever buy a cow/goat with Muslims for Eid al-Adha for Qurbani (sacrifice)(See Bro Imtiaz explain all of this at 2:53:46).
In 2026, the Government of Pakistan sent out multiple reports from the local governments (Karachi, Lahore, Daska, Balakot, Zafarwal, and Peshawar wherein Qurbani is not allowed for Ahmadi’s. The District Bar Association Mirpur AJK has issued letters to the IGP, DIG, SSP, SHO, DC & AC of Azad Jammu Kashmir to Stop AHMADI MUSLIMS from celebrating Eid-ul-Adha.

Sacrificing an animal on Eid is obligatory only for those who can afford it
A letter from a man was presented before the Promised Messiahas that he had put a small amount of money somewhere as part of a sacrificial animal, but they excluded him from that part as he was an Ahmadi. He asked whether his sacrifice would be accepted if he gave that money to the miskeen fund (for the less privileged) of Qadian.
Huzooras replied:
“Sacrifice [of an animal] can only be called a sacrifice by sacrificing [the animal]. It cannot be done by giving money to the miskeen fund. If your funds permit, sacrifice a goat. If there is less and you cannot afford more, then it is not obligatory on you to sacrifice an animal.” (Badr, 14 February 1907, p. 8)
