Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: What is the ruling on a person slaughtering a sheep when he is blessed with a boy or a girl before the 'aqiqah, and calling this act a vow, as it has become a custom among the people of our region?
Answer:
This has no basis. The only one who slaughters for the newborn is the 'aqiqah. Yes.
