My son was born prematurely in September last year.

Question:

Assalamu Alaikum,

My son was born prematurely in September last year. In March 2012 he passed away, may Allah be happy with him. I would like to know if we should do his aqeeqah since we never got a chance to do it?

Thank you.

Answer:

Wa Alaikum As Salaam,

No, there is no need to do his Aqeeqah now.

And Allah knows best,
