Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: A man slaughtered the 'aqiqah for his son as a gesture of hospitality for guests at his home. Is this permissible? His son is now about two years old.
Answer:
The 'aqiqah, meaning the sacrifice for a newborn, is fine. If he slaughters it seeking nearness to Allah the Mighty and Majestic, there is no harm in feeding his guests from it or giving it in charity. He may give it in charity, even if it is a small amount, to those in need. Yes.
