Chapter on the Command for 'Aqiqah for Boys and Girls
Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 4728 — on the Command for 'Aqiqah for Boys
عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ نُعِقَّ عَنِ الْجَارِيَةِ شَاةً وَعَنِ الْغُلَامِ شَاتَيْنِ وَأَمَرَنَا بِالْفَرَعِ مِنْ كُلِّ خَمْسِ شِيَاهٍ شَاةٌ
It is narrated from Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded us to sacrifice one goat for a girl and two goats for a boy as ‘Aqiqah. He also commanded us to sacrifice one goat as Fara’ out of every five goats.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The word "shaah" applies to both species, goat and sheep; therefore, for ‘aqiqah, any animal among a male goat, female goat, sheep, or ram may be slaughtered.
