The Ruling on the 'Aqiqah Sacrifice from Camels for Five Sons
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And is it permissible to offer the 'aqiqah with a camel on behalf of five children?
Answer:
No. If one slaughters a camel or a cow, it suffices for only one 'aqiqah, and it is not permissible to share it or associate partners in it. To clarify: it is not like the hadi (sacrificial animal for Hajj), where a camel suffices for seven and a cow for seven udhiyah (Id sacrifices). As for the 'aqiqah, it is for only one person. Yes.
