Can Aqeeqah Be Done Before Circumcision?

Asaalamu Alaaikum Mufti,

Can u have an Aqiqua for a boy without him being circumcised, or does it have to be before it can be performed?

Thank you for your assistance.

Salams.

Answer:

Wa Alaikum As Salaam,

Yes you can have an Aqeeqah for a boy without him being circumcised. It is not necessary that the boy must be circumcised before doing the Aqeeqah.
And Allah Knows Best.
