Fatwaa ID: 756
Question:
Mufti saab,
It Is mentioned here that one sheep was slaughtered for aqqeqah of Hasan RA.
Should it not be 2 sheep?
Answer:
In the Name of Allaah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salaamu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullaahi wa-barakaatuh.
There are Ahaadith that suggest that one sheep was slaughtered for the ‘aqeeqahs of Sayyiduna Hasan (R) and Sayyiduna Husayn (R), respectively, while others suggest that two were slaughtered. The commentators suggest that perhaps one was slaughtered for each of them on the day of their birth and one on the seventh day. Another possibility is that Nabi ﷺ slaughtered one and commanded Sayyiduna ‘Ali (R) and Sayyidah Faatimah (R) to slaughter another. Because the command came from him and they complied, the slaughtering was referred to him.
And Allaah Ta’aala knows best.
