Ruling on Performing ‘Aqiqah by Purchasing and Distributing Meat

Respected scholar! I would like to know whether it is necessary to perform a sacrifice for ‘Aqiqah, or is it also permissible that I purchase meat from a butcher’s shop and distribute it among people? Alternatively, if I go to a butcher and have a goat slaughtered there, and then pay the price for whatever amount of meat is obtained, will this method be valid? Kindly guide me regarding the ruling of ‘Aqiqah.

الجوابُ حامِدا ًو مُصلیِّا ً

The act of ‘Aqiqah is fulfilled only by slaughtering an animal. Merely purchasing meat and distributing it—whether raw or cooked—or serving it to others does not fulfill the Sunnah of ‘Aqiqah.

مأخَذُ الفَتوی

کما بدائع الصنائع في ترتيب الشرائع: والعقيقة: الذبيحة التي تذبح عن المولود يوم أسبوعه، (ج:5، ص: 69)-
و فیہ أیضا: (ومنها) أن لا يقوم غيرها مقامها حتى لو تصدق بعين الشاة أو قيمتها في الوقت لا يجزيه عن الأضحية؛ لأن الوجوب تعلق بالإراقة والأصل أن الوجوب إذا تعلق بفعل معين أنه لا يقوم غيره مقامه كما في الصلاة والصوم وغيرهما،(5/ 66) -
