سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ لَمْ يَعُقَّ عَنْ وَلَدِهِ حَتَّى كَبِرَ وَ كَانَ غُلَاماً شَابّاً أَوْ رَجُلًا قَدْ بَلَغَ قَالَ إِذَا ضُحِّيَ عَنْهُ أَوْ ضَحَّى الْوَلَدُ عَنْ نَفْسِهِ فَقَدْ أَجْزَأَتْ عَنْهُ عَقِيقَتُهُ وَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) الْمَوْلُودُ مُرْتَهَنٌ بِعَقِيقَتِهِ فَكَّهُ أَبَوَاهُ أَوْ تَرَكَاهُ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid and Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Usman Bin Isa, from Sama’at who said, ‘I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about a man who had not performed <span class="iTxt">Aqeeqa</span> for his child until he was old, and was a youthful boy, or a man who had matured. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘When he offers a sacrifice from him, or the boy offers a sacrifice from himself, so he has sufficed from it of his <span class="iTxt">Aqeeqa</span>’. And he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> said; ‘The new-born is a pledgee with his <span class="iTxt">Aqeeqa</span>, so his parents either free him (from the pledge) or leave him (in it)’.
