Answers: 13Subcategories: 2Aqeeqah and rulings on the new-born
Is It Sunnah to Shave the Hair of a Newborn Girl?
Since there is no authentic Hadith which speaks of shaving the head of a newborn female, the principle remains, which is that it is forbidden to shave the head.360,413If he ate the entire ‘aqeeqah and did not give any of it in charity
28,683What Is ‘Aqiqah?
1. ‘Aqiqah refers to the sacrifice that is offered on behalf of the newborn on the seventh day after birth. 2. There are sahih ahadith from the Prophet which prove that ‘aqiqah is prescribed in Islam. 3. It is prescribed to slaughter two sheep for a newborn boy and one sheep for a girl, as is indicated by the saheeh evidence. 4. The best time for offering the ‘aqiqah is seven days after birth.400,865Ruling on sharing an ‘aqeeqah
41,149Rulings on Miscarriage in Islam
In case of miscarriage in Islam, the scholars differed as to whether offering `aqiqah is prescribed or not. Some scholars favoured the view that it is prescribed and they are also of the view that the child should be given a name.225,767Should he offer ‘aqeeqah for a baby who died immediately after birth?
25,168Should the hair of a baby girl be shaved at birth? May it be shaved for the purpose of making the hair stronger?
51,332The time for naming the child and slaughtering the ‘aqeeqah, and eating therefrom
97,033Is it a sin if one does not do the ‘aqeeqah or delays it?
81,882Why Is ‘Aqiqah Important?
‘Aqiqah is important because if it is not done for the child and he dies in childhood, he will be prevented from interceding for his parents; or that the ‘aqiqah is a means of ridding the child of Satan.219,268
