Three People Sharing a Cow for the 'Aqiqah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Three people want to share one cow as an 'aqiqah for their children. Is this permissible?
Answer:
No. It is not reported that camels and cows are shared in this manner. This is only for the udhiyah and the hady of the udhiyah, or the hady of tamattu' or qiran, where seven people may share a cow or a camel. As for the 'aqiqah, it must be entirely for the newborn, and sharing in its blood is not sufficient, as the jurists have stated. Yes.
