The Difference Between the 'Aqiqah and the 'Id Sacrifice Regarding the Distribution of the Meat
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : The 'Aqiqah is not like the 'Id sacrifice.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Likewise, regarding the 'Id sacrifice, the 'Aqiqah is broad in scope; you may do with it whatever you wish. If you wish, you may eat it yourself and your family, may it be good and wholesome. If you wish, you may give it all as charity or send it as a gift. If you wish, you may combine these options.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : And if you wish, you may invite people, and so on.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : So you have the choice in this matter, but the fundamental point is that it is limited to these three stages.
The questioner : You have done well.
The Shaykh : This is with regard to the ruling.
The questioner: Yes.
