Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. This questioner says: When a man changes his son's name from an old name to a new one, is he required to perform an 'aqiqah?
Answer:
No, no. This is what the common people say: that if you change the name, you must slaughter an animal. They want their meat. No, this has no basis at all.
