Answer:

How many days qurbani is allowed in eid-ul-adha?

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

Qurbani can be done up to the 13th. day of Dhul Hajj. Those that follow the Hanafi sect perform Qurbani up to the 12th. of Dhul Hajj.

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is only ones. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.
