How many goats are needed for a boy's aqiqah?
Following the sunnah, a boy's aqiqah is 2 goats or sheep and a girl's is 1. The majority of scholars hold that the aqiqah remains valid if parents can only afford one animal for a boy. Our package finder works out the head count automatically for every family in Port Dickson, Negeri Sembilan.
Does the aqiqah package include cooking and delivery?
Yes. Our cooked aqiqah packages cover the slaughter, cleaning, cooking as kurma, rendang or sup, packing and delivery to your home in Port Dickson, Negeri Sembilan. If you only want raw meat, choose the basic package and we deliver it butchered and neatly packed.
When is the best time to perform an aqiqah?
Aqiqah — also spelled akikah, and often typed aqeeqah by English-first parents — is most encouraged on the seventh day after birth, together with the hair shaving and the naming. If the seventh day does not suit, the fourteenth or twenty-first day is also accepted. Many families in Port Dickson, Negeri Sembilan pick the nearest weekend so relatives can attend.
What is the difference between aqiqah and korban?
Aqiqah is a sunnah of gratitude for the birth of a child and can be performed at any point in the year. Korban is performed specifically on Hari Raya Aidiladha and the days of tasyrik. Both involve a slaughter, but the intention, timing and ruling differ — we handle aqiqah all year round in Port Dickson, Negeri Sembilan.
Can I book an aqiqah online from overseas?
Yes. Many parents living abroad book their aqiqah online and we arrange the slaughter, cooking and distribution on their behalf in Port Dickson, Negeri Sembilan. You will receive photos and a short video as confirmation once the aqiqah is complete.
Is the aqiqah goat slaughtered according to syariah?
Yes. Every animal is slaughtered by a certified slaughterman following syariah guidance, with the correct recitation and method. The livestock is selected healthy and of age before slaughter, and the whole process is carried out at our slaughter partner's premises in Port Dickson, Negeri Sembilan.
Can the aqiqah meat be distributed to asnaf on my behalf?
Yes. Our sedekah asnaf package slaughters the animal and distributes the entire aqiqah meat to asnaf, suraus and orphanages in Port Dickson, Negeri Sembilan. We provide a short photo report so you know where your aqiqah meat went.
