My wife is 8-month pregnant.
Could you explain how we do aqiqah?
And about giving name.
We cut his hair on the seventh day
and give him name.
And sacrifice a (two) goat(s)
on the seventh day.
For example, the baby is born...
For example, the baby is born after subh.
You count it as day one.
For example, on Monday at 8 in the morning.
That is the day one.
So, it is Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday, Friday.
Saturday, Sunday.
It means that it is on Sunday
that he slauhter his goat(s)
So, the day the baby is born is counted
as day one.
Unless the baby is born at night, the
scholars say.
If the baby is born at night,
the birth day is not counted.
We count the day after.
Got me?
On Day 7, he slaughters the goat(s).
If you want to make a feast on Day 10,
it is fine,
The point is you slaughter the goat(s)
on Day 7.
You slaughter the goat(s) on Day 7.
If you want to distribute them,
or make a feast, it is up to you.
The point is you slaughter the goat(s)
on Day 7.
Ustaz, Day 7 is Wednesday.
I cannot invite people.
People can only come on Sunday.
I want my relatives to come.
That is fine.
You slaughter the goat(s)
and you put the meat in the fridge.
And on Sunday, you make the feast.
But on Day 7, you cut all
of the baby's hair.
And you weigh the hair. Look for silver
with the same weight as the hair.
And you give the silver to charity.
The point is to give to charity.
And...
You name the baby.
So, you have seven days to discuss the name
with your wife.
What will be the name.
You choose.
You may also name the baby on Day 1.
When the Prophet's son, Ibrahim was born...
The Prophet named him on Day 1
he was born.
That is not a problem.
