عقيقة إباحة على ما في الجامع المحبوبي أو تطوعا على ما في شرح الطحاوي وهي شاة تصلح للأضحية تذبح للذكر والأنثى سواء فرق لحمها نيئا أو طبخه بحموضة أو بدونها مع كسر عظمها أو لا واتخاذه دعوة أو لا (رد المحتار 6/ 336)

وقال مالك العقيقة بمنزلة النسك والضحايا ولا يجوز فيها عوراء ولا عجفاء ولا مكسورة ولا مريضة ولا يباع من لحمها شيء ولا جلدها ويكسر عظامها ويأكل أهلها منها ويتصدقون (تحفة المودود باحكام المولود 132)
