Is the 'Aqiqah for myself obligatory upon me or upon my father? Knowing that my father is alive and capable of performing the 'Aqiqah, but he does not give weight to the Shari'ah?

The Shaykh : And why did you say, "If my father were not deceased?"

Another questioner : I mean, my father is alive.

The Shaykh : I understand. You said, "If my father were not deceased?"

Another questioner : ... Your presence, I mean ... but my father is alive. Does it mean I want to perform the 'Aqiqah now as an obligation on my neck or on his neck? My 'Aqiqah?

The Shaykh : Is he capable?

Another questioner : He is capable, yes.

The Shaykh : It is obligatory upon him.

Another questioner : Okay; my father does not have it, he does not mean the Shari'ah.

The Shaykh : You got the answer.

Another questioner : No, it is not that he does not have money, he does not give the Shari'ah any attention.

The Shaykh : No, what?

Another questioner : He does not give the Shari'ah any attention ... .

The Shaykh : He does not give weight to the Shari'ah?

Another questioner : No, absolutely not.

The Shaykh : Ah, he does not give weight to the Shari'ah ... it is delayed until he dies, after that it is your turn to revive the Sunnah that the one who died killed.

Another questioner : And I believe now ... .

The Shaykh : Yes.
Yes.
