Offering `Aqiqah for boys and girls on certain days
Q 2: We have a prevalent custom, which is that we
offer 'Aqiqah (sacrifice for a newborn) for a new male baby on his seventh day, fourteenth or twenty-first and for a female baby on her eighth day, sixteenth or twenty-fourth.
What is the ruling on this, may Allah reward you)?
A2:
'Aqiqah for a female is the same as that for a male with regard to the best time when it should be slaughtered. It is a Sunnah (action following the teachings of the Prophet) to slaughter for a new baby, male or female, on the seventh day, on the fourteenth or on the twenty-first and after that (Part No. 10; Page No. 466
