Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is it permissible for a person to perform the 'aqiqah for a male newborn with a single sheep? And did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) perform the 'aqiqah for al-Hasan and al-Husayn (may Allah be pleased with them both) with a single sheep?
Answer:
No, what is reported is that he performed the 'aqiqah for each of them with two sheep. So for a male, the 'aqiqah is two sheep, and for a female, it is one sheep. This is one of the places where the female is on half the share of the male: in the 'aqiqah, in inheritance, in testimony, and in blood money as well. Yes.
