Question:
Is there a specific time for the 'Aqiqah for a boy?
Answer:
The best time is on the seventh day, and if it is slaughtered after that, there is no harm, but the best is as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Abi Dawud 2838Sahih (Al-Albani) the 'Aqiqah, this is the best. Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: If it is missed, then on the fourteenth, and if it is missed, then on the twenty-first.
Then there is no specific time for it, but in any case, after the seventh day, there is no specific time for it.
Q: For example, does he slaughter one animal for the women and then one animal for the men?
A: He distributes it as he wishes; he may give it all as charity, or eat from it and feed people from it, or give one to the men and one to the women, or give one to the neighbors to distribute, and keep one for them to eat. The matter is broad in this regard; the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not set a specific limit for it.
