Is there a specific time for the 'Aqiqah?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Okay, our Shaykh, regarding the 'Aqiqah, for example, if we slaughter it in the second week, is that acceptable?
The Shaykh : If it does not become easy for you in the first week, it is acceptable in the second week. And if it does not become easy in the second week and it becomes easy in the third week, that is sufficient.
The questioner : Yes, within three weeks.
The Shaykh : Yes, exactly.
The questioner : What I mean is because of my vacation and my work schedule.
The Shaykh : I do not care about your intention; what matters is that you know the Shari'ah ruling. If it becomes easy for you in the first week, that is best. If it does not become easy for you, then in the second week. If it does not become easy for you, then in the third week, and that is sufficient.
The questioner: May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : And beware of that.
