Aqeeqah FAQs

What is the ruling on Aqeeqah? 

​Aqeeqah is a great Sunnah. It is part of the legacy inherited from Prophet Ibrahim (peace and blessings be upon him) and a great Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet said, “Every boy is mortgaged by his aqeeqah, so slaughter for him on the seventh day, and shave his head, and name him.” (Ibn Majah).

According to the vast majority of scholars in Islam, aqeeqah is a highly recommended practice (Sunnah). There is, however, a small minority of scholars who consider it obligatory. This is the position of Imam Hasan Al-Basri.

Lastly, the significance of aqeeqah is that it is part of the Abrahamic legacy. Prophet Ibrahim (peace and blessings be upon him) was a man of tawhid (belief in the Oneness of Allah), and his entire life typified that of a perfect muwahhid or monotheist. He abolished sacrifices or rituals to deities other than Allah and allowed sacrifices and prayers to be directed solely to Allah. The rituals associated with aqeeqah, therefore, can be considered as a child’s initiation into the lessons of tawhid.

In short, Aqeeqah is a great Sunnah, which all Muslims should practice, especially if they have the means to do so.

Due to the limited number of grass-fed animals that can be sourced for Aqeeqah, we advise that you make your order in advance. This will help us make proper arrangements to make it happen Insha'Allah. Call us to check for availability.​ Keep in mind that if, for any reason, Aqeeqah cannot be done on the seventh day, it can be done on the fourteenth, twenty-first or whenever possible. However, it should not be unnecessarily delayed.

What can I sacrifice for Aqeeqah?

Aqeeqah involves sacrificing a goat or lamb on behalf of the child. It is giving thanks to Allah for the gift of a child. Its meat is distributed to the poor or can be used to arrange a feast to which the poor as well as relatives and friends are invited. The same conditions are stipulated for the ‘aqeeqah as for the udhiyah as far as age and health conditions of the animals: the animal should have reached the right age and should be free of defects . Read more >
​
It is reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sacrificed a goat each for his grandsons Al-Hasan and Al-Husayn. It is recommended that, on the day of aqeeqah, the child is given a good name, his/her head is shaved, and his/her hair is weighed and the equivalent in money of its weight in gold is given in charity. ​

What is the Cost of Aqeeqah?

The cost of Aqeeqah is based on the sacrificed animal. A deposit is required to reserve your it. It will be applied to the final cost. Once we have received the deposit payment, your Aqeeqah will be reserved in the order it came in. In case we run out of selected animals, we will try our best to accommodate each and every one. Since the carcass must be chilled prior to cutting, it will take a few days before the meat is ready for delivery.
