The presenter:
Now, we also have a call from Dammam, 'Abd al-Khaliq. Peace be upon you.
The questioner:
Peace and the mercy of Allah.
The presenter:
What is your question, 'Abd al-Khaliq?
The questioner:
The question, Shaykh, is: How are you, Shaykh?
The Shaykh:
May Allah greet you.
The questioner:
I wanted to ask you. I am fine. I have had a baby, praise be to Allah. I want to ask: is it permissible for me to slaughter one animal for the newborn boy now and another one later?
The Shaykh:
You mean the newborn is a boy. Yes? Yes, it is recommended (mustahabb) to slaughter two sheep on his behalf. If you wish and it is easy for you, slaughter them both together. Otherwise, there is no harm in slaughtering one now and delaying the other for a valid reason.
The questioner:
Yes, thank you, Shaykh.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
