Breaking the bones of the 'aqiqah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this questioner says: Is it true that it is not permissible to break the bones of the 'aqiqah?

Answer:
Yes, indeed. They say it is disliked because it removes the marrow, so its bones are not broken in the hope of the newborn's safety. This has no basis and no evidence for it. One does with its meat and bones what is done with other slaughtered animals, out of necessity for that.
