Nafilah Sacrifice
What is nafilah sacrifice?
A voluntary offering is an offering made outside of the obligatory Eid-al-Adha - purely out of love, faith and as charity. It is not obligatory, but is performed for the sake of Allah, with the intention of helping others and receiving reward.
Why a nafilah sacrifice ?
SunriseHelp works worldwide - in areas where poverty, war, drought or social exclusion hinders people in their daily lives. In many of these regions, meat is a rare luxury. Even during Eid, many receive nothing.
With a voluntary sacrifice:
- Reach out to people throughout the year, not just during the Feast of Sacrifice.
- Prevent food shortages in refugee camps, orphanages and crisis areas.
- Give your hope to people who would otherwise be forgotten.

Characteristics of a nafilah offering
- Not required, but highly recommended.
- Can be done throughout the year, especially at special times (such as on an important day for the person or on Friday).
