What is the ruling for one who has eleven children and did not perform the sacrifice for them, and they have grown up and gotten married?

The questioner : Also regarding the 'aqiqah, and even though a part of the answer has already been given, it appears thatThe questioner : he says, "Allah the Exalted has blessed me with eleven children.

The Shaykh : What Allah willed.

The questioner : And I did not perform the 'aqiqah for any one of them.

The Shaykh : May Allah help him.

The questioner : Knowing that most of them are now married, what is obligatory for me to do to escape sin, if there is any sin?

The Shaykh : We do not know; the answer was given previously. We do not know what his situation or condition was, but I say that it is better for him, since his children have become adult men and they have gotten married, and perhaps they have been blessed with young children of their own, that they first perform the 'aqiqah for themselves. As long as it is obligatory for them to follow their Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), for he, when he became a Prophet, performed the 'aqiqah for himself. That is because it is very natural for the people of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance that they did not know this legal ruling. So he (peace and blessings be upon him) performed the 'aqiqah for himself . So I advise this father of eleven children to identify among them those who are of age and capable of performing the 'aqiqah for themselves, so that he revives this recommended practice in them, and they revive this recommended practice themselves. That is better and more lasting. This is sufficient, and praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds. And glory be to You, O Allah, and with Your praise I testify that there is no deity but You. I seek Your forgiveness and I repent to You.
