The Ruling on Leaving the 'Aqiqah for Children Until They Grew Up
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Another questioner says: A man has a group of sons and daughters, and he did not perform the 'aqiqah for any of them, either out of ignorance, negligence, or lack of money. His children are now grown up. What should he do now?
Answer:
They owe nothing; because the 'aqiqah is a recommended practice (sunnah), not obligatory, and it is a right of the child upon his father. Since he did not perform it, there is nothing in that, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
