The ruling on circumcision before the seventh day and the 'aqiqah on the third day
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to perform circumcision before the seventh day?
The Shaykh:
It is permissible, but the best is on the seventh day, because before the seventh day the child may not be able to bear it, or there may be danger to him. Yes.
The questioner:
He says: And if someone performed the 'aqiqah for his newborn on the third day, what is required of him?
The Shaykh:
There is nothing wrong with that, but the best is from the seventh day and after. Yes.
