Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: Allah has blessed me with a male child, and guests came to visit me, so I slaughtered two rams for them and said, "Welcome, by the honor of so-and-so," and I intended it to be an 'aqiqah. Is it sufficient?
Answer:
Yes, if you intend it to be an 'aqiqah, then it is an 'aqiqah. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih al-Bukhari 1 So if you intend it to be an 'aqiqah and tell those present that it is an 'aqiqah, then it is an 'aqiqah. Yes.
The presenter:
