What is Aqiqah?
Aqiqah, an Islamic terminology, is defined as the animal that is slaughtered on the occasion of the child’s birth.
Aqiqah is a type of sadaqah and it is also sunnah. According to another hadith from Ja’far al-Sadiq, every born is in pawn of Aqiqah; namely, it would be exposed to death/kinds of calamities if they don’t do Aqiqah for the child. It is Sunnah for the parents to eat from the meat of Aqiqah.
