Slaughtering the Aqeeqa in a different country is lawful Fatwa No: 86616
- Fatwa Date:3-10-2005
I had a little boy yesterday and was wondering if I could make the Aqeeqah (sacrifice) in my original country instead of the birthplace of my son. I have sent money to my family to slaughter two goats.
Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds; and may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions. You can make the sacrifice of Aqeeqah in your original country instead of your son's birthplace (Canada) by sending money to a relative or (anyone who is honest) to slaughter two goats there on behalf of you (the father). Allah knows best.
