Aqiqah

Aqiqah is an act of showing gratitude to the Creator for His Blessings of children.

  • As per the tradition of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, and his companions - parents may show this gratitude by sacrificing animals (such as sheep, goats, camels) and prepare a meal from the meat and invite the community, including the poor to share in the joyous occasion.

  • Parents, who are unable to perform Aqiqah themselves, can send money to AlHaqq Foundation to sacrifice an animal on their behalf and distribute the meat to the poor.

  • As per the example of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, Aqiqah for a male child costs $240 for sacrificing 2 goats, and for a female child costs $120 for sacrificing 1 goat.
