Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The first question of Fatwa No. ( 5088 )
Q1: My mother had two children who died while still young, and the 'aqiqah has not been completed for them to this day. My father did not have the means to complete it, and I know that my father is now deceased. Is it permissible for my mother to complete the 'aqiqah for her deceased children?
A1: If the situation is as described, your mother may complete the 'aqiqah for the two children, and she will receive reward from Allah for that, if Allah wills.
And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
