How to distribute the 'aqiqah and what is best in it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the sunnah (recommended practice) and what is best regarding the 'aqiqah: should it be distributed, or should people be gathered to eat from it?
Answer:
People are gathered to eat from it, but charity is given from it, even if it is a little. Charity is given from it; they say even a pound of meat. The charity from it is not left out. And gathering people to eat from it does not contradict this.
