 The term may have roots from the Jewish term "Korban"; in some places such as in Pakistan, "qurbani" is always used for Islamic animal sacrifice.In the Islamic context, an animal sacrifice referred to as "ḏabiḥa" (ذَبِيْحَة) meaning "sacrifice as a ritual" is offered only in Eid ul-Adha.The sacrificial animal may be a sheep, a goat, a camel, or a cow.
