Carrying out aqeeqah for one's child who passed away
Question
My son, aged 17, passed away last February. I still did not perform his aqeeqa. Can I do aqeeqa for him now?
Answer
Since he has passed away, you will not do the aqeeqah.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
