The 'Aqiqah with Other Than Sheep
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And is it valid with other than sheep, Honorable Shaykh? Is it valid with other than sheep?
Answer:
Yes, it is valid, but one does not share in it. For example, with camels, one does not share in it; seven are slaughtered for one person. And a cow is slaughtered for one person as an 'aqiqah. If you have the means, you slaughter a camel for your son; that is fine, there is nothing wrong with it. But you do not say, "I will take seven camels like the 'Id sacrifice." No, it is not like the 'Id sacrifice. Yes, sharing in the blood is not permissible in it, they say.
