Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, does the one who embraced Islam perform the 'aqiqah for himself?
Answer:
No, that is not its place. But if he embraced Islam and had not been circumcised, he circumcises himself. If he had not been circumcised, he circumcises himself. This is among the rights of the child upon his father: that he circumcise him while he is young. On the seventh day, the 'aqiqah is slaughtered for him, and he is circumcised, named, and the head of the male child is shaved. Yes.
