Ruling on sharing a cow for Hajj and the 'aqiqah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh informed you, may Allah guide you. You mentioned that a cow counts for seven people. Is it permissible for me to slaughter a cow if the number of people is seven?
Answer:
Yes, if your number is seven for Hajj or for the udhiyah, there is nothing wrong with that. As for the 'aqiqah, no, the 'aqiqah does not accept sharing. The 'aqiqah differs from the hady and its spirit because it does not accept sharing. Therefore, it is not possible to perform the 'aqiqah for seven newborns with one cow or one camel. Rather, each camel or each cow is for one person only. This is the case with the 'aqiqah.
