Affording the `Aqiqah after a year

431

Q 2: What is the ruling if, due to financial problems, `Aqiqah (sacrifice for a newborn) is offered a year or more after the birth of a baby?

A: It is an act of Sunnah (whatever is reported from the Prophet) to offer `Aqiqah when the person has the means to do so even after the passage of one year or more. (Part No. 11; Page No. 439) May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
