my Aqiqah

A fundamental part of Aqiqah is appreciating that all life is blessed, and we should be thankful. This is reflected by supporting the less-fortunate as part of Aqiqah.

In addition to the donation of meat, the child’s hair is shaved, with its weight in gold or silver donated to the deserving via charities like the National Zakat Foundation or Islamic Relief.

Animals offered for Aqiqah must meet eligibility requirements similar to Qurbani. EQL offers British lamb and sheep Aqiqah to suit all needs. The cycle of the lambing season and the availability of eligible animals means hoggets or old season lambs may be offered instead, particularly between July and September when jaz’ah or 6 month old lambs are in short supply. Please email salaam@myaqiqah.uk prior to making any bookings if you have specific animal needs.
