Sunan and manners about ‘Aqeeqah

O devotees of Rasool! Let’s listen to some Sunan and manners about ‘Aqeeqah from the booklet ‘Ghaflat’ [Heedlessness], written by Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat, ‘Allamah Maulana Abu Bilal Muhammad Ilyas Attar Qaadiri دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـه:

٭ The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said: A boy is pawned for his ‘Aqeeqah. An animal be slaughtered on his behalf on the seventh day, he be given a name and his head be shaved. (Sunan-ut-Tirmizi, vol. 3, pp. 177, Hadees 1527)

٭ Being ‘pawned’ means that one will not be able to acquire full benefit from him until ‘Aqeeqah is performed. Moreover, some Muhaddiseen have said that wellbeing, upbringing and good qualities of a child are associated with ‘Aqeeqah. (Bahar-e-Shari’at, vol. 3, pp. 354)

٭ An animal slaughtered for paying gratitude on the birth of a child is called ‘Aqeeqah. (Bahar-e-Shari’at, vol. 3, pp. 355)
