Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. He says: Is it permissible to pay the value to the association so that they slaughter the 'aqiqah and distribute it?
Answer:
No, no. Like the udhiyah, we said that this is a ritual and an act of worship. The head of the household or the guardian of the newborn performs it in the house. The people of the house are generous with it, they rejoice in it, they eat from it, and they distribute it.
