The 'Aqiqah for one who did not have it performed for him and is now an adult
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man is thirty years old, and one of his parents told him that they did not perform the 'aqiqah for him except with a single sheep. What is the ruling in this case? It is known that his parents did this out of ignorance.
Answer:
The sheep is sufficient, and praise be to Allah. The sheep is sufficient for a male child, though it is better to offer two sheep for a male. If he offered one, it is accepted. Praise be to Allah. Yes.
