Aqiqah and Giving Charity with the Hair of the Newborn
If I want to give charity equivalent to the weight of my newborn's hair, can I give a ring or earrings made of silver? And when is the last time for the Aqiqah? How should it be distributed?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: The 'aqiqah is an act of devotion like other acts of devotion, and there is no specific time for it. You can give a ring or something else as charity for the sake of God with the intention of seeking God's protection for your child and guiding him towards good. And God knows best.
