  The first point that we have to understand is that Qurbani (Udhiyah) is prescribed at a particular time just like salah/prayer is at a prescribed time. Fasting is prescribed in Ramadan. Hajj is prescribed at a specific time. Udhiyah is an act of worship that has a start and an end time. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, إِنَّ أَوَّلَ مَا نَبْدَأُ مِنْ يَوْمِنَا هَذَا أَنْ نُصَلِّيَ، ثُمَّ نَرْجِعَ فَنَنْحَرَ، فَمَنْ فَعَلَ فَقَدْ أَصَابَ سُنَّتَنَا ‏”‏‏.‏ He said that “the first thing we do on this day is we pray, i.e. the prayer of Eid and then we return back then we perform our slaughter or sacrifice and whoever has done so, then they have followed my sunnah”. And so, performing the Udhiyah begins at the time after the prayer of Eid has taken place and the Prophet ( ﷺ ) said specifically: “whoever does it beforehand, it’s not accepted.” He said, وَمَنْ ذَبَحَ قَبْلَ Whoever has done their slaughter before this time, فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ لَحْمٌ عَجَّلَهُ لأَهْلِهِ All he has...

Some righteous deeds which we can do are to recite the Quran, increase in Adkhar, give in charity, and even strengthen the relationship with our families and friends.  The 10 days of Dhul Hijjah is an absolutely beautiful time for the believer to increase in reward and barakah Insha Allah.  Read more on what our TeamOrange says: https://www.pennyappeal.ca/blog/dhul-hijjah/
