How is Aqiqah Sacrificed?
As the Aqiqah is sacrificed, the child’s parents supplicate by saying: “O Allah, this is my child’s Aqiqah. May it be protection for him against the fire of Jahannam.” A person who did not have an Aqiqah Qurbani sacrificed for them by their parents, may slaughter one for themselves. Our Prophet Muhammed (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) sacrificed a Qurbani for himself after Allah (Subhanahu) ordered him to announce his prophethood publicly. He also sacrificed Aqiqah for his two grandchildren following their birth. The meat from the Aqiqah may be consumed by the person for whom it was sacrificed and by any other people. The meat of the whole animal or part of it may be given as charity. Children are gift from Allah (Ta’ala) and Aqiqah is a form of Shukr for the blessing granted.
