Answer:
Aqiqa in 7 days
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask
for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever
He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that
there is no one (no idol, no person, no
grave, no prophet, no imam, no dai,
nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that
Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
Sunan of Abu-Dawood Hadith 2832 Narrated by Samurah ibn Jundub
The Prophet (saws) said: ‘A boy is in pledge
for his Aqiqah, sacrifice is made for him on the seventh day, his head is
shaved and he is given a name.’
It is Sunnah to offer the Aqiqa sacrifice on the 7th
day of the birth of the child; but if for any reason one is unable to offer it
on the 7th day and wishes to offer it later, it is expected that his
sacrifice will be accepted by the Lord Most Merciful.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to
Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only
Source of Strength.
Your brother and well wisher in
Islam,
