Clarification of the Link Between Ihram and the Slaughtering of the 'Aqiqah

Question:
And the issue of the Shaykh (may Allah preserve you) is the hunting dog and the guard dog if one no longer needs them.

Answer:
Because, because this is the reason for my speech. This is because we were at the miqat during the time of Hajj, and people would come to us saying, "They told us: Do not enter ihram until you slaughter your 'aqiqahs. If you have not performed the 'aqiqah, it is not valid for you to enter ihram until you slaughter it." So they went around looking for sheep to slaughter at the miqat. This is from the fatwas of the ignorant and the blind. It has no basis. The 'aqiqah is a recommended practice (sunnah); if it is slaughtered, praise be to Allah, and it is not obligatory. Yes, they told them, "Do not enter ihram." Are you sure that your 'aqiqah has been performed? If your 'aqiqah has not been performed, do not enter ihram. The poor people went around looking for sheep to slaughter. Yes.
