Sunan Abi Dawud 2842 (Book 16, Hadith 55) #23132
The Importance of Aqiqah and Fara'

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the importance of not breaking ties and offering aqiqah for newborns. It also mentions the importance of fara' and how it should be done.

Narrated 'Amr b. Suh'aib: On his father's authority, said that his grandfather that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about the aqiqah. He replied: Allah does not like the breaking of ties (uquq), as though he disliked the name. And he said: If anyone has a child born to him and wishes to offer a sacrifice on its behalf, he may offer two resembling sheep for a boy and one for a girl. And he was asked about fara'. He replied: Fara' is right. If you leave it (ie let it grow till it becomes a healthy camel of one year or two years, then you give it to a widow or give it in the path of Allah for using it as a riding beast, it is better than slaughtering it at the age when its meat is stuck to its hair, and you turn over your milking vessel and annoy your she-camel.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith discusses the importance of not breaking ties with others as well as offering a sacrifice for newborns known as an aqiqah. An aqiqa is usually two sheep for boys and one sheep for girls, but this can vary depending on the family's financial situation. Additionally, it talks about fara', which is when an animal such as a camel or cow grows to maturity before being sacrificed in order to benefit those in need such as widows or orphans. The Prophet Muhammad also warned against sacrificing animals too young because it would be annoying to their mothers who are used to providing milk from them. This hadith teaches us that we should always think about others before ourselves and take care of our animals properly so they can provide us with sustenance until they reach maturity if we choose to sacrifice them later on.
