Shaving the newborn's head on the seventh day
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
No, for it is an abomination. Allah the Exalted said, and[Al-An'am 6:145] meaning it is impure and a cast-out thing, and Allah has forbidden the impure things and forbidden the impurities. Yes.
The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this questioner is asking about the 'aqiqah. He says: If the son grows up and no 'aqiqah was performed for him, is it prescribed for this son to perform the 'aqiqah for himself?
The Shaykh:
No, its time has passed. If they reach puberty, the time for the 'aqiqah has passed. The 'aqiqah is for the small child who is below the age of puberty. Yes.
The questioner:
And he asks, may Allah preserve you, saying: On the seventh day after the birth of the newborn, is it that his head is shaved?
The Shaykh:
Two years ago, there was a gathering at the miqat of al-Sail for awareness, and some pilgrims came and said, "Do not enter the state of ihram, you have not had an 'aqiqah performed for you, do not enter the state of ihram, you have not had an 'aqiqah performed for you, go buy sacrificial animals and slaughter them, and then enter the state of ihram." They made things difficult for them, and they came asking. We told them, "Absolutely, this is a lie and this is..."
The presenter:
Mm.
No, for it is an abomination. Allah the Exalted said, and
the flesh of swine - for indeed, it is impure
