“I heard the Prophet ﷺ say: ‘On behalf of a boy, two sheep of equal age and on behalf of a girl one sheep.’”  

سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ عَنِ الْغُلاَمِ شَاتَانِ مُكَافِئَتَانِ وَعَنِ الْجَارِيَةِ شَاةٌ  

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded us to sacrifice two sheep for a boy’s ‘Aqiqah and one sheep for a girl.”  

أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ نَعُقَّ عَنِ الْغُلاَمِ شَاتَيْنِ وَعَنِ الْجَارِيَةِ شَاةً  

“For a boy there should be an ‘Aqiqah, so shed blood for him and remove the harm from him.”  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِنَّ مَعَ الْغُلاَمِ عَقِيقَةً فَأَهْرِيقُوا عَنْهُ دَمًا وَأَمِيطُوا عَنْهُ الأَذَى  

“Every boy is mortgaged by his ‘Aqiqah, so slaughter for him on the seventh day, and shave his head, and name him.”  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ كُلُّ غُلاَمٍ مُرْتَهَنٌ بِعَقِيقَتِهِ تُذْبَحُ عَنْهُ يَوْمَ السَّابِعِ وَيُحْلَقُ رَأْسُهُ وَيُسَمَّى  

“Offer an ‘Aqiqah for the boy, but do not smear his head with blood.”  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ يُعَقُّ عَنِ الْغُلاَمِ وَلاَ يُمَسُّ رَأْسُهُ بِدَمٍ
