سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْعَقِيقَةِ أَ وَاجِبَةٌ هِيَ قَالَ نَعَمْ يُعَقُّ عَنْهُ وَ يُحْلَقُ رَأْسُهُ وَ هُوَ ابْنُ سَبْعَةٍ وَ يُوزَنُ شَعْرُهُ فِضَّةً أَوْ ذَهَباً يُتَصَدَّقُ بِهِ وَ تُطْعَمُ الْقَابِلَةُ رُبُعَ الشَّاةِ وَ الْعَقِيقَةُ شَاةٌ أَوْ بَدَنَةٌ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ismail Bin Marrar, from Yunus, from Abu Baseer, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about the <span class="iTxt">Aqeeqa</span>, is it Obligatory?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Yes. Perform <span class="iTxt">Aqeeqa</span> for him, and shave off his head when he is a boy of one week, and weight his hair by silver or gold, so give in charity with it, and feed the midwife, a quarter of the ram, and the <span class="iTxt">Aqeeqa</span> is a ram or a camel’.
