Qurban (Korban) Guide for Hari Raya Haji in Singapore

How MUIS runs the SalamSG Korban programme, what it costs, how to register, and what happens to the meat afterwards.

If you’ve heard people talk about “doing korban” around Hari Raya Haji and wondered what’s actually involved, here’s the short version: it’s the ritual sacrifice of livestock, and in Singapore it’s organised almost entirely through MUIS (the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore) via a programme called SalamSG Korban, rather than something individuals arrange privately. Here’s how it works, based on MUIS’s own 2026 programme details.

How SalamSG Korban Works

MUIS runs the programme through 55 participating mosques, split into two tracks:

Overseas korban (51 mosques) — livestock (cattle, lamb, or sheep) is slaughtered in Australia under MUIS-endorsed arrangements. A portion of the sheep meat goes toward humanitarian support in Gaza, with the rest distributed to lower-income and vulnerable families in Singapore.
Local korban (7 mosques, including Jamae Chulia Mosque and Al-Istighfar Mosque) — conducted locally by licensed MUIS-endorsed operators.

Qurban Pricing (2026)

Animal	Price
Sheep	$365
Lamb	$370
Cattle (1/7 share)	$370

Prices are set annually by MUIS and typically change slightly year to year, so treat the figures above as the 2026 benchmark rather than a fixed rate — always confirm the current year’s pricing before registering.

How to Register

Registration for 2026 opened on 9 April and closed 22 May, on a first-come, first-served basis — slots do fill up before the deadline, so it’s worth registering early rather than waiting until the last week. You can register online at korban.ourmasjid.sg or in person at any participating mosque, paying by PayNow, NETS, card, or cash.

What Happens to the Meat?

Participants who register receive chilled, pre-packed meat within about two weeks after Hari Raya Haji. The rest is distributed to beneficiaries, including lower-income families in Singapore and, for the overseas programme, humanitarian aid recipients abroad.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I do qurban privately in Singapore instead of through MUIS?

Livestock slaughter is tightly regulated in Singapore, so private, informal qurban isn’t practically an option the way it might be in other countries. The SalamSG Korban programme through MUIS-endorsed mosques and operators is the standard, recognised route.

How much does qurban cost in Singapore?

For 2026, sheep cost $365, lamb $370, and a 1/7 share of cattle $370. These are set by MUIS and can shift slightly each year.

When does qurban registration close?

For 2026, registration ran from 9 April to 22 May, first-come first-served. Deadlines shift slightly each year based on when Hari Raya Haji falls, so check MUIS’s current announcement rather than assuming the same dates apply.
