The Ruling on Paying the Value of the 'Aqiqah to an Association to Have It Slaughtered and Distributed
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Your Eminence, father, he says: Is it permissible to pay the value to the association so that they slaughter the 'aqiqah and distribute it?
The Shaykh:
No, no. Like the udhiyah, we said that this is a ritual and an act of worship that the head of the household or the guardian of the newborn performs in the house. The people of the house are generous with it, they rejoice in it, they eat from it, and they distribute it. Yes.
The presenter:
You.
The Shaykh:
And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and his Companions.
