Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: In our view, the ruling is that whether it is a boy or a girl, one goat should be given for each, and ‘aqiqah is not obligatory, it is recommended. However, the goat for ‘aqiqah should be like that of sacrifice: it should not be one-eyed, thin, with broken horns, or sick. It is not permissible to sell the meat or skin of the ‘aqiqah, and its bones should be broken. The one performing the ‘aqiqah should eat from its meat and feed the poor, and the blood of the ‘aqiqah goat should not be applied to the child.
