Aqeeqah

Aqeeqah

Q:

1. When should I perform aqeeqah for my baby boy? On the 7th day or 14th day or 21st day? Many scholars say that if it was not done on the 7th then it should be done on the 14th. If it was not done on the 14th then it should be done on the 21st.

2. Two sheep should be slaughtered for a baby boy, so can I slaughter one here in Saudi Arabia and one in Pakistan?

Aqeeqah for adults

Q: We have three grown up daughters.They were all born in the western countries and we could not even remember performing the aqiqa for them. I am wondering if we can now perform the aqiqa for them though they are adults and how to perform it. 

Aqeeqa

Q: Aqeeqa should be done by parents. If parents are poor and husband wants to do wife's aqeeqa, is he allowed to do so? A wife whose aqeeqa has been done by husband is she allowed to eat or keep that meat for herself? What will be the procedure of her aqeeqah? Is it a must for her to shave her hair completely? Please answer as soon as possible. Can you answer according to Imam Shafi?
