[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about al-Fara'. He said, "Al-Fara' is a right, even if you leave it until it becomes equal to the size of a newborn foal or the size of a lamb. You may carry it in the path of Allah or give it to a widow, which is better than to let it stick to your flesh and make your vessel low. And hand it over, O your camel."  

سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْفَرَعِ؟ فَقَالَ الْفَرَعُ حَقٌّ وَإِنْ تَرَكْتَهُ حَتَّى يَكُونَ شُغْزُبًّا ابْنَ مَخَاضٍ أَوِ ابْنَ لَبُونٍ فَتَحْمِلَ عَلَيْهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ أَوْ تُعْطِيَهُ أَرْمَلَةً خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَنْ تَبُكَّهُ يَلْصَقُ لَحْمُهُ بِوَبَرِهِ وَتَكْفَأَ إِنَاءَكَ وَتُولِهُ نَاقَتَكَ  

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 (i.e. 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. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2842)   

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ ح قَالَ وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الْأَنْبَارِيُّ ثنا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو وَعَنْ دَاوُدَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أُرَاهُ عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ سُئِلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَنِ الْعَقِيقَةِ فَذَكَرَهُ وَقَالَ وَسُئِلَ عَنِ الْفَرَعِ قَالَ وَالْفَرَعُ حَقٌّ وَأَنْ تَتْرُكُوهُ حَتَّى يَكُونَ بَكْرًا شَعُوبًا ابْنَ مَخَاضٍ أَوِ ابْنَ لَبُونٍ فَتُعْطِيَهُ أَرْمَلَةً أَوْ تَحْمِلَ عَلَيْهِ أَوْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَنْ تَذْبَحَهُ فَيَلْزَقَ لَحْمُهُ بِوَبَرِهِ تَكْفَأَ إِنَاءَكَ وَتُوَلِّهَ نَاقَتَكَ  

"الْفرَع حَقٌّ وإِنْ تَتْركوه حَتَّى يكونَ بَكْرًا شَعْريًا ابْنَ مَخَاض أَو ابْنَ لَبون، فَتُعْطِيَه أَرْمَلَةً، أوْ تَحْمِلَ عَلَيهُ فِي سَبيلِ اللهِ خَيرٌ مِنْ أَنْ تَذْبَحَه فَيُلْزِقَ لَحْمَهُ بِوَبَرِهِ، وَتُكْفِئَ إِنَاءَكَ، وتُوَلِّه نَاقَتَكَ" .
