It is narrated from a man of Banu Dhumrah that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was asked about Fara’. He (peace be upon him) said: “Fara’ is also a right. Leave the newborn animal until it becomes strong and robust, then give it to a widow or provide it as a mount in the cause of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic. This is better than slaughtering it (while it is young), pouring out its milk, distressing the she-camel, and then eating its meat while the flesh is still clinging to the hair.”

Hadith Takhrijسنن ابی داؤد، الأضاحي، باب في العقيقة، رقم : 2842 وقال الالباني: حسن، سنن نسائی، باب الافرع ولا عتيرة 4230
Imam Shafi’i, may Allah have mercy on him, says that the statement of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding Fara’ is true; it means it is not false (the meat is lawful). But this Arabic statement was made in the context of answering a questioner. There is also a narration that says: “There is no such thing as Fara’ or ‘Atirah in Islam.” This difference (contradiction) in narrations is not real; what is meant is that Fara’ or ‘Atirah is not obligatory in Islam, while the other hadith indicates that (though not obligatory) it is permissible. The preferred opinion is that (after slaughtering) it should be given to a widow or in the way of Allah. Imam Shafi’i, may Allah have mercy on him, says that ‘Atirah is the same as Rajabiyyah; this is the name of the sacrifice which the people of ignorance used to vow to slaughter in the month of Rajab and then fulfill it in Rajab. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “There is no ‘Atirah,” meaning ‘Atirah is not necessary. And in another hadith, when asked about ‘Atirah, he said: “Slaughter in the name of Allah in any month and feed (the poor),” meaning if you wish, you may slaughter, but the sacrifice must be in the name of Allah, not in the name of anyone else, and the month should not be specified, because those people used to specify the month of Rajab instead of the other months. Imam Shafi’i, may Allah have mercy on him, says that ‘Aqiqah is a well-known practice among the people; this sacrifice was performed by the people of ignorance on behalf of a newborn, and in Islam, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) also commanded it, but this name (from a linguistic perspective) is disliked.

Hadith Takhrijلا فرعة ولا عتيرة حديث صحيح، متفق علیه، انظر صحیح بخاری، العقيقة، باب الفرع رقم : 5473 ، صحیح مسلم الاضاحی باب الفرع والعتيرة رقم : 1976۔
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.

Umm Kurz says: I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ at the place of Hudaybiyyah to ask about the issue of sacrificial meat, and I heard him ﷺ say: "For a boy, two goats and for a girl, one goat is prescribed for 'Aqiqah; there is no harm whether they are male or female."

And Umm Karz says: I also heard the Prophet ﷺ say, "Let the birds remain in their nests." Imam Shafi’i, may Allah have mercy on him, says that the meaning of the statement of the Prophet of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم, "Let the birds remain in their nests," is that the knowledge of the Arabs was to make birds fly, to estimate their direction (right or left), to draw lines, and to scold the birds. When an Arab would leave his house for some task, he would first look at a bird. If the bird flew to the right instead of the left, the Arab would say, "This is a right-sided bird," and would proceed with his task, believing he would be successful. If the bird passed to the left instead of the right, he would consider it an unlucky bird and would abandon his journey, thinking it was a bad omen. Hatika the poet praised Abu Musa Ash’ari, may Allah be pleased with him, saying: "When he goes for any task, he does not take bad omens by making birds fly, nor does he draw or throw arrows of fate. That is, according to the Islamic way, he relies on Allah Almighty and has abandoned the ignorant custom of taking omens from birds." Some Arab poets praised themselves in this way: "I am not among those who make birds fly for their purposes (I do not refrain from my objectives) whether a crow or a fox appears before me." If an Arab did not find a bird on the way, he would go and make one fly from its nest to find out whether the path would be unlucky or peaceful. This is the meaning of the statement of the Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم: "Let the birds remain in their nests, do not disturb them." There is no effect or power in the movement of birds; everything happens by the decree of Allah Almighty.

Ibn Marjanah says that it was reported to Sayyiduna Abdullah ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that Abdullah ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) recited this verse: "Whether you disclose what is in your hearts or conceal it, Allah will call you to account for it." So Abdullah ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) began to weep and said, "If Allah takes us to account for this, we will be destroyed." Then Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: May Allah have mercy on Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both). When this verse was revealed, it was hard on the Muslims, so they mentioned it to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Then this verse was revealed: "Allah does not burden a soul beyond its capacity. Whatever good it earns is for itself, and whatever evil it incurs is against itself." Whether it is a statement or an action, and as for the thoughts of the heart, no one has control or power over them.
