Penny Appeal Aqiqa

What is Aqiqa?

“Aqiqa is the child’s rescue from Satan and protection for his efforts for the good of his life Hereafter.” (Faid al-Qadir)

Aqiqa is a way to express your gratitude to Allah (SWT) for the blessing of your beautiful baby, through the sacrifice of a goat or sheep. The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) himself used to perform Aqiqa after the birth of a newborn, to protect the baby and give thanks.

Traditionally, the Sunnah of the Prophet (ﷺ) is that one animal is sacrificed upon the birth of a baby girl, and two animals are sacrificed for the birth of a baby boy.

Why should you do your Aqiqa with Penny Appeal?

We take your Aqiqa sacrifice seriously at Penny Appeal. Just as we do with your Qurbani, we only source and sacrifice the healthiest animals for your Aqiqa, and we follow strict halal guidelines.

Each Aqiqa sacrifice will take place 5-7 working days after you donate, and the meat will go towards providing nutritious meals to those in desperate need across Africa and Asia. A girls’ Aqiqa sacrifice will provide 57 meals to the poor, whilst Aqiqa for a boy will provide 114 meals.

Penny Appeal are guaranteed to deliver meals with Aqiqa meat to those in hard-to-reach areas who are grappling with poverty, which means that your blessings will be shared and multiplied.

Celebrate the birth of your beautiful baby – follow the Sunnah and give thanks to Allah (SWT), all whilst helping those in need to have healthy, life-saving meals.

Donate your Aqiqa today, and give a holy sacrifice for your precious child.
