Question:
May Allah reward you with good. Among her questions, she says: Honorable Shaykh, a woman’s family did not complete the 'aqiqah for her. What is obligatory for her toward her family? Does she complete it for herself, or what? And how is that done?
Answer:
The 'aqiqah, which is also called the tamimah, is prescribed for the father on behalf of his children: two sheep for a boy and one sheep for a girl. It is a recommended practice (sunnah), not obligatory. A person does not perform the 'aqiqah for himself, because it is not obligatory and is not prescribed for him; rather, it is prescribed for the father. If it is left and its time passes, there is no blame in that, because it is a recommended practice and is not made up. Yes.
