Fatwa #59646 July 2002South Africa

For aqeeqah,can 2 bulls be sacrificed? The bulls' age is 8 months(each).Is the age a factor? Wassalaam..

Answer

Whatever animals are permissible to slaughter for Qurbaani is also
permissible for Aqeeqah. For a bull to be slaughtered, it has to be 2 years
old. If it is younger than 2 years, it will not be permissible for Aqeeqah.
