Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: What is the ruling on performing the 'aqiqah by buying food and inviting people to it?
Answer:
That is not the 'aqiqah. The 'aqiqah requires slaughtering the sacrificial animal, because slaughtering is an act of worship for Allah (Mighty and Majestic), a worship and a ritual. Food is not sufficient in its place. No.
