There is a big confusion regarding the 3 or 4 days : there are four days of sacrifice


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


There is a big confusion regarding the  3 or 4 days.

The time for offering the sacrifice begins after the Eid prayer on Eid al-Adha and ends when the sun sets on the thirteenth of Dhu’l-Hijjah. So there are four days of sacrifice: the day of Eid al-Adha and the three days after it.


Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allaah have mercy on him) said in Zaad al-Ma’aad (2/319): 
‘Ali ibn Abi Taalib (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: “The days of sacrifice are the Day of Sacrifice (yawm al-nahr) and the three days after it.”
The three days are specified because they are the days of Mina, the days of stoning (the Jamaraat) and the day of al-Tashreeq. It is forbidden to fast on these days. It was narrated via two isnaads, one of which supports the other, that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “All of Mina is the place of sacrifice, and all the days of al-tashreeq are days of sacrifice.”
[Reported in Ibn Majah , Ahmad, Baihaqi and the hadeeth was classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in al-Silsilah al-Saheehah, 2476]

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen said in Ahkaam al-Udhiyah, concerning the time for offering the sacrifice: 
It is from after the Eid prayer on the Day of Sacrifice until the sun sets on the last of the days of al-tashreeq, which is the thirteenth of Dhu’l-Hijjah. So there are four days of sacrifice: the day of Eid after the prayer, and three days after that.
It is permissible to offer the sacrifice during that time by night or by day, but it is better during the day
