Sufficiency of slaughtering a calf for a child in the 'aqiqah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu 'Ali from al-Jubayl in the Eastern Province asks, may Allah preserve you: Is it sufficient to perform the 'aqiqah by slaughtering a calf for the child instead of two sheep?
Answer:
Yes, if the calf has reached two years of age, it counts as an 'aqiqah, but sharing in it is not accepted; one does not say that seven 'aqiqahs were performed. No, it is a single 'aqiqah. Likewise, a camel is for one person, and sharing in it is not accepted, such as with something else. This is on the condition that the age requirement is met.
