Q: 13 – Title: Aqeeqah

Question

I urgently need to know when should Aqeeqah take place if the child was born on Friday at 4 PM. Should the Friday be counted as one day or not?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salamu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullahi wa-barakatuh.

The day the child was born should be calculated for Aqeeqah.[1]

Therefore, since your child was born on a Friday, the seventh day shall be the following Thursday.

And Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
