Q: I'm currently expecting my 5th baby who will be due Insha Allah next year Feb or march. I'm very scared this time around. I don't really know why but my trust is firm with Allah. My question is that is it permissible if my husband and I sacrifice a sheep in the name of Allah when the time comes for delivery of baby in the hope that Allah will except and grant easy labour and fast swift delivery of baby and distribute the meat amongst the less fortunate? Is all of this permissible in Islam or not? An urgent reply will be highly appreciated.
A: Charities do turn away calamities. Charity can be done in any way that is beneficial for the poor and deserving.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
