What Is Aqeeqah?
📖 “Every child is mortgaged by their Aqeeqah, so slaughter for them on the seventh day, shave their head, and give them a name.” — (Ibn Majah)
​
Aqeeqah is a highly recommended Sunnah and a way of expressing gratitude to Allah SWT for the blessing of a child. While some scholars, like Imam Hasan Al-Basri, view it as obligatory, the majority consider it Sunnah Mu’akkadah (strongly encouraged).

When Should Aqeeqah Be Performed?
✅ Preferably on the 7th day after birth
✅ If delayed, it can be performed on the 14th, 21st, or the earliest convenience
⚠️ Avoid unnecessary delays—secure your sacrifice early due to limited availability of grass-fed animals.

What animals can be sacrificed for Aqeeqah?
1 goat or lamb per child

✅ The same rules as Qurbani apply regarding age, health, and condition of the animal.
✅ The meat can be distributed to the poor, used for a feast, or shared with family and friends.
📖 The Prophet (SAW) sacrificed one goat each for his grandsons Al-Hasan and Al-Husayn.

What is recommended on the day of Aqeeqah?
1️⃣ Give the child a good name.
2️⃣ Shave the child's head.
3️⃣ Weigh the shaved hair and donate its equivalent value in gold as charity.
