Q&A/Fatwas

Only the one who is sacrificing, the one who actually pay for it must refrain from cutting nails and hair. The other members of the family don’t have this restriction.

I came to know that we have to give Aqiqah in our younger age. My father passed away and I asked my mother whether Aqiqah was given to me or not and she is not remember. Now I am 40 years old. This this case Do I have to give Aqiqah for me now ?

No, as this was the responsibility of your father, whether he had done it or not!

It seems that it is permissible to slaughter buffalo and it should follow the same ruling as a cow. Zebra is permissible.

For udhiyah on Eid, is it better to slaughter in the city we live ourselves and distribute the meat. Or is it better for us to do it through some organization which will then distribute the meat to the poor in Yemen/Syria etc?

Both are acceptable but doing it yourself and eating from it is better,

Suppose a husband and wife both had the money to sacrifice their own animal slaughter, do they do so or would it be sufficient that the husband does one Qurban on behalf of himself and his wife while the wife uses this ‘extra money’ for other purposes.
