The Meaning of a Boy Being Pledged by His 'Aqiqah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
What is the meaning of his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): (Every boy is pledged by his 'aqiqah)?
The Meaning of His Saying (peace and blessings be upon him): (Every boy is pledged by his 'aqiqah) means that the boy is held back from interceding for his parents on the Day of Resurrection if his father does not perform the 'aqiqah for him. This is how some scholars have interpreted it.
And some scholars said: Being pledged by his 'aqiqah means that the 'aqiqah is among the causes of the child’s success in the matters of his religion and his worldly life, and the expansion of his chest in that regard. And if it is not performed for him, this may cause a psychological state that makes him like one who is pledged.
This opinion is closer to the truth, and that the 'aqiqah is among the causes of the child’s righteousness, the expansion of his chest, and his progress in his deeds.
