Qurbani Meat Divider

Split meat into 3 equal shares (family/relatives/poor).

About this calculator

The Sunnah practice for qurbani meat is to divide it into three parts: one for the family, one for relatives and friends, and one for the poor and needy. This divider takes the total meat weight in kilograms and splits it into three equal shares, so the distribution on Eid day is fair, transparent and free of guesswork.

It also adjusts easily for real situations — when the meat is shared between multiple families or hissas, each family's total is divided the same way. Writing the shares down before distribution keeps the spirit of the practice intact: nobody's portion is short-changed in the Eid rush.

Frequently asked questions

What are the three shares of qurbani meat?

Traditionally one-third for your own family, one-third for relatives and friends, and one-third for the poor and needy.

Must the split be exactly equal?

Equal thirds are the recommended practice, but scholars allow flexibility — for example, giving more to the poor if the family is well-off. The tool gives the equal baseline to adjust from.

How do I divide meat among hissa partners first?

First divide the total meat by the number of shares so each partner gets their portion, then apply the three-way split to each partner's meat.
