In the narration of Zaid bin Aslam, may Allah have mercy on him, it is mentioned that the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, was asked about 'Aqiqah. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "I do not like disobedience." It is as if he disliked this name. If someone has a child born to him and wishes to offer a sacrifice on his behalf, he may do so.
