Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Seven camels suffice for a sheep, except in the case of hunting. Good, and what about the 'aqiqah, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : This person is asking: Does seven of a camel suffice for a sheep in the 'aqiqah?
The answer: Does a camel suffice for a sheep in the 'aqiqah? Because some scholars say it does not suffice. What do they say? Who is this from the presenter? And what do you say?
The questioner : He said, why not continue the lesson on inheritance?
The Shaykh : The lesson on inheritance. We said that the rituals of Hajj are what people need now...
I say, may Allah bless you. Some scholars say: A camel or a cow does not suffice in the 'aqiqah. As for seven of a camel or a cow, it definitely does not suffice for the 'aqiqah, because the 'aqiqah is a ransom, and a ransom must be life for life. This is an exception to that.
