Giving money in place of the 'aqiqah for a newborn
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The fourth question of Fatwa No. ( 16316 )
Q4: Is it permissible to give money in place of the 'aqiqah for a newborn , especially in these days, when many Muslims are in need of money, clothing, food, and weapons for jihad in the path of Allah?
A4: It is not permissible to give money or other wealth in place of slaughtering the 'aqiqah
or the udhiyah; because these are acts of worship that it is not permissible to change from their prescribed form. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
