Giving the entire 'Aqiqah as charity without eating any of it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Is it permissible for me to give the entire 'Aqiqah as charity without eating any of it?
Answer:
That goes against the Sunnah. The Sunnah is to eat from it, to give some of it to your friends, and to give the rest as charity. Divide it into three parts: one third you eat at home with your children and guests, one third you give to the poor as charity, and one third you give to your relatives and friends. Yes.
