To make it easy for you, I have included audio for each Dua. This allows you to listen, practice, and ensure that your Qurbani aligns closely with the Sunnah.
Please note that these Duas are not mandetory to recite. It is preferable to recite the following Duas during the time of slaughter. However, If someone chooses to simply say “Bismillah Allahu Akbar” during the sacrifice, the animal will still be considered Halal, and the sacrifice will be valid. So let’s start in learning and reciting Qurbani Duas.
