Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for me to perform the 'aqiqah for myself now, because my father did not perform it for me, and likewise for my brothers, due to his inability to do so at that time?
Answer:
The 'aqiqah is a recommended practice (sunnah), and its proper time has passed. Also, it is the right of the father, not a right belonging to the newborn or to his brothers; it is the right of the father, and its proper time has passed.
