What Is Aqiqah & Why Does It Matter?

Aqiqah is the blessed Islamic practice of sacrificing an animal upon the birth of a child, a Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ that expresses gratitude to Allah, protects the newborn, and spreads joy through sharing meat with family, neighbours, and those in need.

"Every child is in pledge for his Aqiqah, which is sacrificed on his behalf on the seventh day."
— Sunan Abu Dawud (2838)

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our Aqiqah service.

Aqiqah is an Islamic Sunnah performed to express gratitude to Allah for the birth of a child. It involves the sacrifice of an animal, distribution of meat, and acts of charity, bringing blessings to the newborn and family.

For a baby boy, two animals are recommended, while for a baby girl, one animal is sufficient. This follows the Sunnah practice of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.

Aqiqah is ideally performed on the 7th day after the child’s birth. However, if that is not possible, it can be done later without any issue, and First Choice Store supports flexible scheduling to suit your needs.
