Question

Is it necessary for the aqeeqah animal to meet with the conditions of qurbani animal?

Answer

Yes, it is necessary for the Aqeeqah animal to meet the conditions that are required to be met in a Qurbaani animal. However, since the Aqeeqah in itself is not Waajib a person will not have to compensate for the deficiency, if he comes to know of it at a later stage.

How is aqeeqah done, and is it compulsory?

“Fuqaha state that it is Mustahab to eat from the Aqeeqah animal, feed others, and give it in Sadaqah. Hence, one may host a function in moderation, and feed one’s relatives and the poor while adhering to the laws of Hijab.…”
