Q: Can a aqeeqah be done for a child born out of wedlock as the mother is Hindu and the father is Muslim.

Q: I slaughtered a few chickens recently for personal use. I have three questions:
1. On one chicken I noticed after cleaning that the main vein in the neck was not cut, is it halal?
2. I am uncertain if I read Bismillah on one. Is it halal?
3. If any are not Halal, what must be done with them?

Q: We find it is becoming common for people to hire cold rooms, refrigerated trucks or trailers for Eid. These equipments are hired out to anyone and have most likely been used for haraam meat before.
1. Could this cause contamination although the meat is not being stored in it at the same time as the haraam meat?
2. How should one go about cleaning the equipment prior to using? Is there a specific manner and specific number of times in which it should be cleaned?
Q: Can a person do a nafl Qurbaani and Aqeeqah in one sheep?
Q: Alhamdulillah my parents had slaughtered a cow for Eid which they included shares for myself, my daughter and my wife. I had told them that I would pay for my share as I wanted to pay for my waajib qurbani.
1. Although I asked my mother earlier, she had only given me the price of the qurbani on the day it was slaughtered. As I did not have the bank details I could not make the payment before it was slaughtered. Can I still pay my parents for my qurbani?
2. It is my understanding that my father paid for the qurbani while my mother handles the distribution and my father does not mind. My mother has told us on a few occasions that we should let her know whatever we want from the cow. Should there be any extra caution exercised to ensure that no interest(ribaa) is given or taken?
Q: In the Quran 2:173 it says that Allah has "only" forbidden dead animals and pork etc. But it does not say anything about carnivores, which most scholars regard as haram but since it says "only" does that mean that there is a contradiction? Please explain.
