Assalamu alikum,
Overgeleverd van `Abdullah Ibn Mas`oed
De Boodschapper van Allah - die de eerlijke en de geloofwaardige is - heeft ons verteld;
De schepping van een ieder van jullie wordt in de baarmoeder van zijn moeder veertig dagen verzameld als een (sperma) druppel. Daarna is hij net zo lang als een bloedklonter. Daarna is hij net zo lang als een vleesklomp. Vervolgens zendt Allah een Engel, die vier opdrachten krijgt. Er wordt tegen hem gezegd: "Schrijf zijn daden op, zijn levensvoorziening, zijn levenseinde en of hij ongelukkig of gelukkig zal zijn." Vervolgens wordt de levensadem in hem geblazen. Dus een man onder jullie kan (goede) daden verrichten, totdat tussen hem en het Paradijs slechts een armlengte (afstand) blijft. Vervolgens wordt hij ingehaald door zijn boek (dat voor hem is voorgeschreven) en verricht de daden van de bewoners van het Vuur. Hij kan ook (slechte) daden verrichten, totdat tussen hem en het Vuur slechts een armlengte (afstand) blijft. Vervolgens wordt hij ingehaald door zijn boek (dat voor hem is voorgeschreven) en verricht de daden van de bewoners van het Paradijs. Door Al-Bukhari [3208]

Fatwas of the Permanent Committee>Group 2>Volume 10: Hajj and `Umrah>Ud-hiyah, `Aqiqah and naming the newborn>`Aqiqah>The invitation of Muslims to an `Aqiqah:
The fifth question of Fatwa no. ( 17880 ):
Question 5:
The Maliki Madh-hab (School of Jurisprudence) is for the invitation of Muslims to an `Aqiqah (sacrifice for a newborn) whatever their number might be. This is because the benefit of it is for Muslims to be close together, during which they collect donations and pray for the newborn baby while raising their hands. The Hanbali Madhhab is of the view that coming together for the `Aqiqah is a Bid`ah (innovation in religion) and there is no evidence to support it. Only the witnesses are to be invited and no donation should be collected for the baby.
Answer 5:
`Aqiqah is an act of stressed Sunnah; for a baby boy two sheep should be sacrificed and for a baby girl one sheep to be slaughtered on the seventh day of giving birth to the new baby, the hair of the new baby is to be cut and the baby boy or baby girl are to be named. It is Mashru` (Islamically permissible) in the sight of some scholars to divide the `Aqiqah into thirds: One third for the family members and their guests, one third for neighbors and relatives and one third to be given to the poor as Sadaqah (voluntary charity), as is the case with an Ud-hiyah (sacrificial animal offered by non-pilgrims). Some scholars stated that the matter of `Aqiqah is broad: If its people will give it as Sadaqah, eat it, or distribute some of it and eat some of it. Also if they want to invite relatives, neighbors and others they would like to invite.
From this, it is known that there is no problem in cooking it at home and inviting people to it without a commitment to donate or pray for the new baby on the part of the attendees. However, whoever wills, can donate or pray and whoever does not do so will not be committed to do it. No one has the right to specify a certain act of `Ibadah (worship) which Allah and His Messenger did not prescribe. This is the correct opinion.
May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.

Fatwas of the Permanent Committee>Group 2>Volume 10: Hajj and `Umrah>Ud-hiyah, `Aqiqah and naming the newborn>`Aqiqah>Ruling on what people call (Sufadah), for which relatives and neighbors gather for having dinner:
The first question of Fatwa no. ( 18388 ):
Question 1:
Knowledge is scarce in my village which is located in the southern zone. Therefore, when a new baby is born, the father of this baby slaughters a sheep and people call it (Sufadah), for which relatives and neighbors gather and have dinner with them and there is no commitment to attend on the part of a certain person. Is such an action valid or not? After seven days of the birth of the baby, they slaughter an `Aqiqah (sacrifice for a newborn) of two sheep for a baby boy and one sheep for a baby girl and this is, and Allah knows best, an act of the Sunnah (action following the teachings of the Prophet).
However, they do more and slaughter an extra one and thus the `Aqiqah becomes three sheep for a boy and a second one for a baby girl and thus the `Aqiqah becomes two or three sheep for a baby girl. Then the neighbors and relatives gather and the `Aqiqah hardly suffices. Is such an action of (Safadah), as they claim, valid or not? Is the act of slaughtering more in an `Aqiqah valid? Benefit us with your answer! May Allah reward you with the best!
Answer 1:
It is Islamically permissible for an `Aqiqah (sacrifice for a newborn) to slaughter two sheep for a baby boy and one sheep for a baby girl on the seventh day of birth if possible. The extra slaughtered sheep are not an `Aqiqah but a sheep slaughtered for obtaining meat and no exaggeration should be made regarding this, it should be done according to what is needed. There is no Islamically prescribed sacrificial animal to be offered on the occasion of a birth but the `Aqiqah mentioned above. Anything else will be considered a Bid`ah (innovation in religion), whether it is given the name of "Sufadah" or any other name.
May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.

Fatwas of the Permanent Committee>Group 2>Volume 10: Hajj and `Umrah>Ud-hiyah, `Aqiqah and naming the newborn>`Aqiqah>The condition of `Aqiqah that has to be met is that it should be Jadh`ah
Fatwa no. ( 20221 )
Q: Is it permissible if I am granted a child and I do not have any sheep to offer `Aqiqah (sacrifice for a newborn) for him but I have camels, and I want to slaughter a small one (as 'Aqiqah)? I hope you give me a Fatwa about this. I also hope that you give me a Fatwa whether the 'Aqiqah should have a specific age if it was a camel or cow. I heard that its ruling is similar to that of Ud-hiyah (sacrificial animal offered by non-pilgrims) but I did not understand the meaning of this.
Answer:
The condition of 'Aqiqah that has to be met is that it should be Jadh`ah (a six-month-old sheep), Thaniyyah (a one-year-old goat), Thaniyyah of a cow which is two years old, and Thaniyyah of a camel which is five years old. Less than this does not meet the condition of 'Aqiqah, Ud-hiyah or Hady (sacrificial animal offered by pilgrims). It is preferable for an 'Aqiqah to be a sheep. Two sheep are offered as 'Aqiqah for a baby boy and one sheep for a baby girl and it should be free from any defects as is the case with Ud-hiyah. As for how to give away the meat of 'Aqiqah, no Nas (Islamic text from the Qur’an or the Sunnah) has been reported from the Prophet (peace be upon him) regarding this. However, it should be given away in the same way as other similar offerings such as Ud-hiyah in the sense that it should be eaten and given as a gift and charity. Yet, if all of it was eaten or its meat was given as a Sadaqah (voluntary charity), there is nothing wrong with this.
May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.

Naming newborn babies and shaving their heads:The third question of Fatwa no. 16413:
Question 3: What is the ruling on shaving the hair of the skin of babies, so that they will become hairy when they grow up?
Answer3:
It is Mustahab (desirable) to shave the head of a young male child on his seventh day. This is according to the action of the Prophet (peace be upon him) with Al-Hasan and Al-Husayn (may Allah be pleased with them both) and according to the saying of the Prophet (peace be upon him): Each boy is in pledge for his `Aqiqah (sacrifice for a newborn). It will be slaughtered for him on the seventh day, his head is to be shaved and he is to be named.
May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
