Islamic Giving
Aqiqa
Honor Your Child. Feed a Family.
Aqiqa is one of the most beautiful acts of gratitude in Islam, a sacrifice performed to celebrate the birth of a child, give thanks to Allah, and share the blessing with those in need. For a boy, two animals are slaughtered. For a girl, one. In both cases, the meat is distributed fresh to vulnerable families who may otherwise go without.
Your Aqiqa is performed with full Sharia compliance in one of 19 countries, ensuring the sacrifice reaches families who need it most. You will receive confirmation of your Aqiqa, and the meat is distributed in your child’s name.
The Sunnah of Aqiqa:
- The Prophet ﷺ said: “Every child is pledged for his Aqiqa, sacrificed on his behalf on the seventh day.” (Abu Dawood)
- For a boy, two animals are slaughtered. For a girl, one — each an act of gratitude for the gift of a child
- Aqiqa brings barakah to your child and nourishes families in need
