Question:
Assalamualaikum W V,
I hope you’re well.
I have a question regarding performing Haqiqa for my daughter. She was born in October 2018, and I performed her Haqiqa during Eid-ul-Adha either in 2018 or 2019.
The Haqiqa was done with a Qurbani portion at a madrasa in Kolkata, India, where a Maulana came to our area. Some people in our mohalla knew him, but we did not know him personally.
Now, I am wondering if it is possible to perform Haqiqa again for her.
JazakAllah Khair for your assistance.
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Answer:
Aqeeqah is Mustahab (preferable) [1]. Aqeeqah can be fulfilled by slaughtering a whole goat or sheep, or as a one-seventh share of a cow [2]. It is permissible to share the seven shares of a cow between those performing Qurbaani and those performing Aqeeqah, as all of the seven members are seeking worship and closeness to Allah ﷻ , although, according to Abu Hanifa رضي الله عنه , it is better to perform the Aqeeqah and Qurbaani separately; however, they will be accepted if performed together as shares in one cow [3].
Once the Aqeeqah is completed, there is no need to perform the Aqeeqah again.
Only Allah ﷻ knows best.

يُسْتَحَبُّ لِمَنْ وُلِدَ لَهُ وَلَدٌ أَنْ يُسَمِّيَهُ يَوْمَ أُسْبُوعِهِ وَيَحْلِقَ رَأْسَهُ وَيَتَصَدَّقَ عِنْدَ الْأَئِمَّةِ الثَّلَاثَةِ بِزِنَةِ شَعْرِهِ فِضَّةً أَوْ ذَهَبًا ثُمَّ يَعِقُّ عِنْدَ الْحَلْقِ عَقِيقَةً إبَاحَةً عَلَى مَا فِي الْجَامِعِ الْمَحْبُوبِيِّ، أَوْ تَطَوُّعًا عَلَى مَا فِي شَرْحِ الطَّحَاوِيِّ، وَهِيَ شَاةٌ تَصْلُحُ لِلْأُضْحِيَّةِ تُذْبَحُ لِلذَّكَرِ وَالْأُنْثَ

وَيَجِبُ عَلَى كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ شَاةٌ. وَإِنِ اشْتَرَكَ سَبْعَةٌ فِي بَقَرَةٍ أَوْ بَدَنَةٍ جَازَ إِنْ كَانُوا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْقُرْبَةِ وَيُرِيدُونَهَا

لِأَنَّ الْمَقْصُودَ مِنْ الْكُلِّ الْقُرْبَةُ، وَكَذَا لَوْ أَرَادَ بَعْضُهُمْ الْعَقِيقَةَ عَنْ وَلَدٍ قَدْ وُلِدَ لَهُ مِنْ قِبَلِ لِأَنَّ ذَلِكَ جِهَةُ التَّقَرُّبِ بِالشُّكْرِ عَلَى نِعْمَةِ الْوَلَدِ ذَكَرَهُ مُحَمَّدٌ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ الْوَلِيمَةَ. وَيَنْبَغِي أَنْ تَجُوزَ لِأَنَّهَا تُقَامُ شُكْرًا لِلَّهِ تَعَالَى عَلَى نِعْمَةِ النِّكَاحِ وَوَرَدَتْ بِهَا السُّنَّةُ، فَإِذَا قَصَدَ بِهَا الشُّكْرَ أَوْ إقَامَةَ السُّنَّةِ فَقَدْ أَرَادَ الْقُرْبَةَ. وَرُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي حَنِيفَةَ أَنَّهُ كُرِهَ الِاشْتِرَاكُ عِنْدَ اخْتِلَافِ الْجِهَةِ، وَأَنَّهُ قَالَ لَوْ كَانَ مِنْ نَوْعٍ وَاحِدٍ كَانَ أَحَبَّ إلَيَّ، وَهَكَذَا قَالَ أَبُو يُوسُفَ بَدَائِعُ
