The 'Aqiqah after the death of the newborn
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The eighth question of Fatwa No. ( 4679 )
Q8: The 'Aqiqah was performed after the girl died, and she was one and a half years old at the time of her death. Was the 'Aqiqah performed in its proper form or not? And will this girl benefit her parents in the Hereafter? Please inform us of this.
A8: Yes, it is sufficient, but delaying it beyond the seventh day of birth is contrary to the Sunnah. And every child or girl who dies young, Allah benefits through them the parents who are believers and who were patient. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
