Ruling on ‘aqeeqah for a foundling
Question: 262636
Answer
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
We put this question to our shaykh, ‘Abd ar-Rahmaan al-Barraak (may Allah preserve him) and he replied:
Yes, it is recommended for you to offer ‘aqeeqah on his behalf, for that will be beneficial and will do no harm. It comes under the heading of your showing kindness to him, and perhaps it will be a cause of his becoming righteous.
For more information, please see the answer to question no. 228538
And Allah knows best.
