When is Eid al-Adha in Afghanistan?
Eid al-Adha occurs during the Islamic month of Dhu al-Hijjah and moves through the Gregorian calendar. The festival is associated with prayer, sacrifice, sharing meat, family, and charity.
What the figure or term means
In 2026 the UN Headquarters holiday calendar listed Eid al-Adha on 27 May, while local observance can differ.
Qurbani-related aid needs safe slaughter, lawful sourcing, cold-chain or rapid distribution, fair allocation, and respect for local practice.
Verify the date and operational rules every year.
Use the source publication date when connecting an observance or historical event to a current statistic or appeal.
