How to Perform Aqiqah According to Sunnah

Aqiqah is a beautiful Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ performed to thank Allah for the blessing of a newborn child. It is an act of gratitude that brings blessings to the child, the family, and the community.

Step 1 – Choose a Healthy Animal

The first step is selecting a healthy goat that meets Islamic requirements. The animal should be free from major defects and well cared for.

Step 2 – Perform the Sacrifice

The sacrifice should be performed in the name of Allah by following the Islamic method. It is recommended to perform Aqiqah on the 7th day after birth. If this is not possible, it may be performed later.

Step 3—Shave the Baby's Hair

Shaving the newborn's hair is a Sunnah. Many families also give charity equal to the weight of the baby's hair in silver.

Step 4 – Name the Child

Giving the child a beautiful Islamic name is another recommended Sunnah, often done on the same day as the Aqiqah.

Step 5 – Distribute the Meat

The meat should be shared with family, friends, and those in need, spreading happiness and blessings throughout the community.
