The questioner : Well : What is the meaning of "pledged" here, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : It is a matter of the unseen, which some scholars interpret to mean that he will not intercede for his parents on the Day of Resurrection.
The questioner : You mean if he dies while still young, as one of them says?
The Shaykh : Not that he died young, but that no 'aqiqah was sacrificed for him, whether he died young or old.
The questioner : You mean he will not intercede for his parents?
The Shaykh : Yes, exactly.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : And beware of that.
The boy is pledged by his 'aqiqah
