When Should You Do Aqiqah? Timing and Flexibility

Recommended Time for Aqiqah

The Sunnah indicates performing Aqiqah on the seventh day after the child's birth. On that day the child's head is also shaved and a name is given. Many scholars consider the seventh day ideal but allow it to be done later if necessary.

Can Aqiqah Be Done Later?

Yes. If the seventh day is not possible—due to health, travel, or availability—Aqiqah can be performed on the 14th, 21st, or any later date. Some scholars allow it even in adulthood if it was not done in childhood.
