Q 3: What are
the best ways to offer `Aqiqah (sacrifice for a newborn),
or what is the best way to offer and give it away?
A3:
To the best of my knowledge, there is no Nas (Islamic text from the Qur’an or the Sunnah) on the authority of the Prophet (peace be upon him) indicating how to give away the meat of the 'Aqiqah. However, the method of giving it away should be similar to other similar offerings, i.e. Ud-hiyah (sacrificial animal offered by non-pilgrims). It should be eaten and given as gifts and in charity.
