AQIQAH OF A GROWN CHILD

Question:

As Salaam Alaikum,

Hi,when my son was born we didn’t have the money to do his aqiqah.He is now 3 years old, should I do it now? Does it make sense to? If not what should I do to thank allah now that I’m a lil better off now?

 

Answer:

Wa Alaikum As Salaam,

Although it is not essential upon you to do it now, you can still go ahead and do it. You will get the rewards of doing it and your son will achieve the benefits of the Aqiqah.

And Allah Knows best
