The Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities Department in Dubai has announced the approval of prices for the sacrificial animal project for the Hajj season 1447 AH (2026), in coordination with accredited charitable associations and institutions in the emirate. This comes as part of its ongoing commitment to facilitating the performance of this blessed ritual for donors both within and outside the country, while reinforcing organized charitable work and enhancing its efficiency, in line with the leadership’s vision of promoting social solidarity and community cooperation.

The approved prices include the Somali sacrifice, which is slaughtered and distributed within the country, at AED 800; the local sacrifice in the country of donation, which is slaughtered and distributed outside the country, at AED 350; as well as the Ethiopian or Kenyan sacrifice, which is slaughtered outside the country and distributed within the country, at AED 490.
