Question:
This is a question that came to us from some of the worshippers: Is it recommended for one who changes his name to slaughter two sheep as an 'Aqiqah, even if an 'Aqiqah was already performed for him at his birth?
Answer:
No, there is no need. If he changes his name, he does not need an 'Aqiqah. The 'Aqiqah is only once. If an 'Aqiqah was performed for him, that is sufficient, and praise be to Allah. If he changes his name to a better one, nothing is required of him, neither an 'Aqiqah nor anything else.
