(Book 23, Hadith 13) #36108
Sacrificing for a Child in the Womb

SUMMARY: Sacrificing an animal for a child in the womb is not obligatory, but it is recommended.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar did not sacrifice for the child in the womb. Malik said, "The sacrifice is sunna, and it is not obligatory. I prefer that anyone who has the price of the animal should not abandon it'.'
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ، لَمْ يَكُنْ يُضَحِّي عَمَّا فِي بَطْنِ الْمَرْأَةِ ‏.‏ قَالَ مَالِكٌ الضَّحِيَّةُ سُنَّةٌ وَلَيْسَتْ بِوَاجِبَةٍ وَلاَ أُحِبُّ لأَحَدٍ مِمَّنْ قَوِيَ عَلَى ثَمَنِهَا أَنْ يَتْرُكَهَا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith discusses the practice of sacrificing an animal for a child in the womb. It states that this practice is not obligatory but rather recommended or sunna. This means that if someone has enough money to buy an animal to sacrifice then they should do so as it will bring them blessings from Allah SWT. However, if someone does not have enough money then they are not obligated to do so and can still receive blessings from Allah SWT without sacrificing an animal. The hadith also teaches us about being mindful of our resources and using them wisely when making decisions about religious practices such as sacrificing animals for children in the womb.
