Question:
This questioner says: A woman, seeing that her husband was delaying the slaughter of the 'aqiqah for their two children, went ahead and bought the 'aqiqah and slaughtered it without her husband's permission. Is this permissible?
Answer:
Yes, the intended purpose is achieved if the father, the mother, or even a stranger to them slaughters the 'aqiqah, and praise be to Allah. The criterion is the intention; if she intends it to be the 'aqiqah and slaughters it, it is sufficient, if Allah wills. Yes.
