Is it permissible to slaughter the 'aqiqah sacrifice on the day of 'Id al-Adha?

The questioner : The one who has not performed the 'aqiqah for his children, for his children and his family... on the day of the 'Id al-Adha, he brings a ram that day and performs the 'aqiqah for you, not the udhiyah; he performs the 'aqiqah for him...

The Shaykh : No, this has no basis.

The questioner : It has no basis.

The Shaykh : This has no basis. The obligatory duty for the one who is able on the day of 'Id is to slaughter an udhiyah for himself and his household members who live with him. As for the udhiyah being sufficient in place of the 'aqiqah...

The questioner : It is not an udhiyah... it is not an udhiyah.

The Shaykh : It is not on the day of 'Id al-Adha.

The questioner : On the day of 'Id al-Adha, it is not counted as an udhiyah... it is an 'aqiqah.

The Shaykh : This is what I am saying: on the day of 'Id al-Adha, only the udhiyah is prescribed. As for the 'aqiqah, we have known that it has a specific time: the seventh day, or the 14th, or the 21st. If the one who is able did not perform the 'aqiqah on one of these three days, i.e., in the three weeks, then the time for the 'aqiqah has passed for him. So, the one who wants to perform the 'aqiqah on the day of 'Id al-Adha is contradicting the ruling in two ways. First, he performs the 'aqiqah at a time when it is not prescribed. Second, he substitutes what is lower for what is better. He leaves the udhiyah and brings the 'aqiqah, and the time for the 'aqiqah has passed for him, and the udhiyah is now obligatory upon him. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) affirmed the importance of the udhiyah by saying: , . So, the one who has the means but does not slaughter an udhiyah and only performs the 'aqiqah has contradicted the ruling in two ways. The first, and the most important, is that he neglected the obligatory duty, which is the udhiyah. The second is that he established in its place what is not prescribed, which is the 'aqiqah at a time other than its appointed time, and he neglected thereby this obligatory matter which the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) encouraged in the previous hadith: . And all praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds. Oh Allah.

The questioner : Well done.

The Shaykh : May Allah reward you. In the name of Allah. This is a Najdi innovation.
