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.

Why is Aqiqah important?
At Crisis Aid, we have a duty to be there for those who are most in need of our support.
Millions of people struggle every day with poverty. Many people go days and months without proper food. Your donation could provide a family with a meal and give them the vital nutrients they need. They would also have the chance to share in the celebration of new life. The reward of this beloved Sunnah benefits so many of us.
Crisis Aid has designed its Aqiqah Project to allow people to donate the sacrifice meal directly to those most in need.
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) provided an Aqiqah to each of his two grandsons.
