(Book 26, Hadith 1) #36137
Sacrificing for Children in Islam

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was asked about the Aqiqa and he disliked the name but allowed it if someone wanted to sacrifice for their child.

Yahya related to me from Zayd ibn Aslam from a man of the Banu Damra that his father said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was asked about the Aqiqa. He said, 'I do not like disobedience (uquq),' as if he disliked the name. He said, 'If anyone has a child born to him, and wants to sacrifice for his child, then let him do it'. "
حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ، مِنْ بَنِي ضَمْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ عَنِ الْعَقِيقَةِ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ لاَ أُحِبُّ الْعُقُوقَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَكَأَنَّهُ إِنَّمَا كَرِهَ الاِسْمَ وَقَالَ ‏"‏ مَنْ وُلِدَ لَهُ وَلَدٌ فَأَحَبَّ أَنْ يَنْسُكَ عَنْ وَلَدِهِ فَلْيَفْعَلْ

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith is about sacrificing for children in Islam. It was narrated by Yahya from Zayd ibn Aslam from a man of the Banu Damra that his father said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was asked about the Aqiqa. He said 'I do not like disobedience,' as if he disliked the name. He then said 'If anyone has a child born to him and wants to sacrifice for his child then let him do it.' This hadith teaches us that although sacrificing animals is not encouraged in Islam, it is permissible when done with good intentions such as celebrating a newborn baby's birth or thanking God for His blessings. It also teaches us that we should be obedient to God's commands and avoid disobeying Him at all costs.
