Aqiqah (Animal Sacrifice)
When a child is born, an Aqiqah must be given by the parents/guardian as a gesture of thanks to Allah (SWT), protection from Shaytaan, expiation of sins and preventing any calamities, inshaAllah.
Aqiqah is most preferable (mustahabb) on the seventh day after a child is born. If it has been missed, then it is allowed to be carried out on the 14th or 21st day. Although HADI currently allocates Aqiqah sacrifices on a weekly basis, we welcome donor requests and we will do our best to accommodate within time frames.
Shaving of the baby’s hair: the hair must be weighed, and the sadaqah given is dependent upon the rate of silver on the day (donors must do the calculations themselves).
There is no time frame for animal sacrifice (as Sadaqa or otherwise). It is recommended to be carried out as soon as possible.
