Qurbaani & Halaal Slaughter

Eating spleen

Q: It is haram for us to consume carrion (blood). Is it halaal for us to eat Spleen of an animal (since spleen also contains red blood cells) or is the prohibition only for running blood?

Aqeeqah

Q: I want to find out about the Aqeeqa for boys, how many sheep and for girls how many sheep? Is it permissable to call people to come home and eat the meat?

Machine cut chickens

Q: I follow the Hanafi fiqh and the Hanafi fiqh states that chicken must be hand slaughtered and Machine slaughtered cannot be eaten. Shafi'ee fiqh allows for the consumption of machine slaughtered chicken as long as it is done the proper way (with Kalima). In Mecca and Madina there are mostly Shafi'i followers. Is it okay for me, a follower of the Hanafi fiqh, to eat chicken when I go for Umrah/HAJJ if it is not hand slaughtered?
