Question
Ulama have said that if a woman has a tola of gold along with an amount of money will she be included in the nisab of qurbani? I also want to know what Ghamidi sahib has to say regarding the situation?
Answer
assalaam o alaykum
Thank you for the email.
We believe that qurbani is an optional worship. There is no nisab for it after obtaining which one is obliged to offer the qurbani. Therefore, it is upon the individual to decide whether he can offer qurbani or not. If we understand the importance of the worship we can even take loan for it just as we take loan for other works of importance.
