Charging a Fee for carrying out the Qurbaanai

Q: Are the organizations who are doing Qurbaani allowed to take extra money for doing Qurbani and then use the extra money for deeni projects?

A: We do not know exactly why they are taking the additional amount. If the additional amount is in lieu of their service, then they are entitled to take the amount in lieu of the services they provide.
