Aqiqah
AddThis Social Bookmark Button

Aqiqah is an act of showing gratitude to the Creator for His blessings of children. Parents may show this gratitude by sacrificing animals (one for a girl, two for a boy), such as sheep, goat, camels, and inviting the community (including the poor) to share in the joyous occasion.

Parents who are unable to perform Aqiqah themselves, can send money to Hidaya Foundation to sacrifice an animal on their behalf and distribute the meat to the poor.
