Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is there a text stating that when the 'aqiqah is slaughtered, it should be cut into pieces rather than having its bones broken, as a form of auspiciousness for the newborn?
Answer:
Yes, they said that it is removed in pieces, meaning its limbs, and its bones are not broken. However, there is no evidence for this. The 'aqiqah and others are the same; it may be broken and cut up, and there is no harm in that, if Allah wills.
