Q2: We have a widespread custom, which is that we perform the 'Aqiqah for a male newborn on his seventh day, or the 14th, or the 21st, and for a female newborn on her eighth day, or the 16th, or the 24th What is the ruling on this? May Allah reward you.
A2: The 'Aqiqah for a female is like the 'Aqiqah for a male in terms of the preferred time for the slaughter, with no difference. It is recommended to slaughter for the newborn, whether male or female, on the seventh day, then on the fourteenth, then on the twenty-first, and after that
the days are equal. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
