The recommendation not to break the bones of the 'aqiqah sacrifice: Is it traced back to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This is Salim, and he says: Is the recommendation not to break the bones of the 'aqiqah sacrifice traced back to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)? And if so, how is this slaughtered animal cooked?

Answer:
No, this is a juristic preference (istihsan) by the jurists. I do not recall any evidence for not breaking the bones; there is no evidence for this. It is merely a juristic preference. They say it is for the sake of optimism regarding the child's safety, optimism regarding the child's safety. This is what prevents breaking the bone. Yes.
