Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem
Assalamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu
The Aqeeqa refers to a sacrifice given by a family on the occasion of the birth of a son or a daughter. One sheep or a goat for the Aqeeqa of a girl and Two sheep or two goat for a boy. Relatives and neighbours are invited, because this is a joyous occasion to be shared with the immediate community.
The Aqeeqa is a Sunnah, which means that it is strongly recommended. Its time is in the early days of the birth of the child. If a family cannot afford to sacrifice a goat, then no blame is attached to it for failing to do so. The Holy Quraan says: Allah does not charge a soul with more than it can reasonably undertake. A poor family that finds it difficult to make both ends meet is not expected to observe the Aqeeqa.
The ceremony of Aqeeqa is generally used to give the newborn child a suitable name. Sayyiduna Abdullah Ibn-e-Abbas (radi Allahu anhuma) reported that the Beloved Habeeb (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) said: The father owes a right to his child to give him or her a good name and teach him or her good manners. (Bayhaqi)

Assalamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu AQEEQA AND CIRCUMCISION It is Sunnat to make Aqeeqa on the 7th day after the birth of a child, but if this is not possible, it should be done on the 15th or 21st day. It is required to make Aqeeqa of two sheep for a boy and one sheep for a girl. The Aqeeqa meat should be divided into three parts: one part is to be given to the poor, one to friends and family and one part to be used in the house. It is preferable that the bones should not be broken but be separated by the joints and buried after eating. It is also better that the child be named by the 7th day from the time of birth. A good name, preferably one of the names of the Ambiya or of a Sahabi would be of Barakat. ?Mohammed? is the best name and names such as this should never be mispronounced. During Aqeeqa (7th day) the child?s hair can also be removed and the equivalent weight in Silver should be given in Sadaqah. Soaked Saffron can be rubbed on the child?s head after the hair is removed. It is also permissible to make Aqeeqa of one cow for a few children, meaning 2/7 part of a cow for a boy and one part for a girl. One should not borrow money to make Aqeeqa as it is not compulsory on a person that cannot afford it. Aqeeqa is not Fardh or Waajib but it is a Sunnat. Circumcision is Sunnat for males between the ages of 7 to12 years. To circumcise after the age of 12 is prohibited. It is best to circumcise at an early age, even during Aqeeqa (7th day) as the child heals very quickly and does not suffer much. There is no need to have functions to celebrate the process of circumcision. www.raza.co.za/Publications/Publications_Guide%20to%20Muslims.htm
