The Ruling on Delaying the 'Aqiqah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner from Khamis Mushayt says: Allah has blessed me with a daughter two years ago, and I have not performed the 'aqiqah (sacrifice for a newborn) for her, despite my financial ability to do so and my knowledge of the 'aqiqah. I ask you to issue a ruling on what is obligatory for me to do.
Answer:
Now that these years have passed, the 'aqiqah remains valid; she can slaughter it because its time has not passed. She slaughters one sheep for the 'aqiqah of the female child, eats from it, feeds her household, feeds her neighbors, and gives charity to the poor from it. It is a recommended practice (sunnah) that is confirmed, and its time does not pass. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
