Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. This questioner asks: Is it permissible for a woman to slaughter the 'Id sacrifice or the 'aqiqah?
Answer:
That is fine. A woman's slaughter is permissible, and her slaughter is valid, because a woman was tending sheep in Sulayl around Makkah, and a wolf pounced on one of them. She picked up a sharp stone and slaughtered it, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that it be eaten. A woman and a man are equal in this; if she is skilled in slaughter, her slaughter is like a man's slaughter.
