Islamic Requirements for Qurbani Animals
A valid qurbani goat must meet these requirements according to Islamic guidelines:
- Age: At least 1 year old (check teeth — should have at least 2 permanent incisors)
- Health: Must be healthy with no visible diseases or disabilities
- No defects: Should not be blind, lame, extremely thin, or have broken horns exposing the root
- Gender: Both male and female goats are acceptable for qurbani
How to Inspect a Goat Before Buying
Follow this checklist to ensure you're buying a healthy animal:
- Eyes: Should be bright and clear, not watery or cloudy
- Nose: Should be clean and dry, no discharge or mucus
- Teeth: Check for age verification — 2 permanent teeth = 1 year, 4 = 2 years
- Body condition: Run your hand along the spine — ribs should be felt but not visible
- Legs: Watch the goat walk — it should move freely without limping
- Droppings: Should be firm pellets, not watery (diarrhea indicates illness)
- Coat: Should be smooth and clean, no bald patches or excessive scratching (parasites)
- Energy: A healthy goat is alert and active, not lethargic

Buying Online vs. Bakra Mandi
Online (from farms): Better health guarantees, no middleman markup, delivery to your door, vaccinated animals with records.
Bakra Mandi: See the animal in person, negotiate prices, more variety to choose from, but animals may be stressed from transport and crowds.
At Rumi Goat Farm, we offer the best of both worlds — you can browse our livestock online, see photos and health records, and we deliver across Sindh from our farm in Sakrand, Sindh. View our available goats or WhatsApp us for live video calls to see the animals.
Tips for First-Time Buyers
- Set a budget before visiting the mandi — it's easy to overspend in the excitement
- Bring someone experienced if you've never bought a goat before
- Ask about vaccination history — PPR and goat pox vaccines should be up to date
- Arrange transport beforehand — don't let the animal sit in a car trunk in summer heat
- Keep the goat in shade with fresh water and green fodder before qurbani day
