The Ruling on the 'Aqiqah for a Deceased Newborn
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Among the questions that came in, one of the brothers says: My wife gave birth to a male child after completing seven months of pregnancy, and then Allah took him after three days. Should I slaughter an 'aqiqah for him? And should his 'aqiqah be two sheep, or is one sufficient?
Answer:
One sheep is sufficient, and it is recommended for you to perform the 'aqiqah for him, even though he is dead, because he is held back from interceding for you on the Day of Resurrection, unless you slaughter the 'aqiqah for him. Yes.
