The arrival of a newborn is a moment of happiness and celebration for every family.\u00a0In the midst of\u00a0these joyous moments, Islam reminds us of our responsibilities towards the less fortunate. The\u00a0Aqeeqah\u00a0(also known as\u00a0Aqiqah) ceremony,\u00a0is\u00a0a Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him),\u00a0and\u00a0signifies this beautiful blend of gratitude and responsibility.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Aqeeqah\u00a0is typically performed on the seventh day after\u00a0a child’s\u00a0birth.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
When a baby is born, the parents perform\u00a0Aqeeqah\u00a0for the child by slaughtering two goats or sheep for a boy, and one sheep or goat for a girl. Muslims are encouraged to shave their child\u2019s head and donate the weight of their child\u2019s hair in silver to vulnerable families, ensuring that the blessings of the newborn are shared with those in need.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3102,"template":"","country":[],"project_type":[124,18],"class_list":["post-1736","project","type-project","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","project_type-aqeeqah-general-sacrifice","project_type-islamic-giving"],"value":"150","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/maainternational.org.au\/CMSWebParts\/wp\/v2\/project\/1736","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/maainternational.org.au\/CMSWebParts\/wp\/v2\/project"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/maainternational.org.au\/CMSWebParts\/wp\/v2\/types\/project"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/maainternational.org.au\/CMSWebParts\/wp\/v2\/project\/1736\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/maainternational.org.au\/CMSWebParts\/wp\/v2\/media\/3102"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/maainternational.org.au\/CMSWebParts\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1736"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"country","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/maainternational.org.au\/CMSWebParts\/wp\/v2\/country?post=1736"},{"taxonomy":"project_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/maainternational.org.au\/CMSWebParts\/wp\/v2\/project_type?post=1736"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
