Ibn Majah

"I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) say: "On behalf of a boy, two sheep of equal age and on behalf of a girl one sheep.'"

"The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) commanded us to sacrifice two sheep for a boy's "Aqiqah and one sheep for a girl."

"For a boy there should be an "Aqiqah, so shed blood for him and remove the harm from him."

"Every boy is mortgaged by his "Aqiqah, so slaughter for him on the seventh day, and shave his head, and name him."

"Offer an "Aqiqah for the boy, but do not smear his head with blood."

"A man called the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and said: "O Messenger of Allah, we used to sacrifice the "Atirah during the Ignorance days in Rajab,; what do you command us to do?' He said: "Sacrifice to Allah whatever month it is, do good for the sake of Allah and feed (the poor).' They said: "O Messenger of Allah, we used to sacrifice the Far'ah during the Ignorance days; what do you command us to do?' He said: "For every Sa'imah* (flock of grazing animals), feed the firstborn as you feed the rest of your flock until it reaches an age where it could be used to carry loads, then sacrifice it, and give its meat in charity' "“ I** think he said "“ "to the wayfarer, for that is good.'"

"There is no Far'ah and no "Atirah."

"There is no Far'ah and no "Atirah."

"Allah has prescribed Al-Ihsan (proficiency) in all things. So if you kill, then kill well, and if you slaughter, then slaughter well. Let one of you sharpen his blade and spare suffering to the animal he slaughters."

"The Prophet (ﷺ) passed by a man who was dragging a sheep by its ear. He said: "Leave its ear alone and hold it by the sides of its neck.'"
