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.

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
