Can we perform aqeeqah on our son when he is at any age before baligh?
Question
At the time of his birth we did not have enough money to perform aqeeqah after 7 days. Could we postpone the aqeeqah when we have enough means ? Wassalam
Answer
It is Mustahabb to perform Aqeeqah. If one does not have the means to perform Aqeeqah, they do not have to do so. Aqeeqah may be performed later when one has the means to do so.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
