The permissibility of a seventh of a cow in the 'aqiqah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner asks, Shaykh, about a seventh of a cow: does it suffice for the 'aqiqah of a girl, by analogy with the 'Id sacrifice?
Answer:
The majority hold that a seventh of a camel or a cow does not suffice for the 'aqiqah; it must be offered whole. Whoever wants to perform the 'aqiqah with a camel must offer it whole, or with a cow, he must offer it whole. It must also have reached the age that suffices for cows, which is two years, and for camels, five years. It must also be free from defects that invalidate the 'Id sacrifice, so it is exactly like the 'Id sacrifice. Yes.
