Aqeeqah in Makkah – Goat, Sheep and Camel
Aqeeqah in Makkah for Your Newborn
The birth of a child is one of the greatest blessings Allah (SWT) grants a family. Every Muslim parent wants to thank Allah for this gift in the best way, and the Sunnah way is Aqeeqah. Many families living abroad, however, find it hard to arrange a proper, Sunnah-compliant Aqeeqah, or wish they could offer it in the Holy City. Haramain provides a solution to this.
Haramain gives you the opportunity to perform Aqeeqah in Makkah Al’Mukarramah from anywhere in the world. Our experienced team in Makkah carries out every Aqeeqah Zabiha correctly, hygienically and under strict supervision, so you can fulfil this Sunnah without travelling.
The Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said: “Every child is held in pledge for his Aqeeqah, which is sacrificed for him on the seventh day; he is named and his head is shaved.” [ Sunan Abu Dawud, Jami’ at-Tirmidhi ]
Following the Sunnah, Haramain performs Aqeeqah as follows:
- Baby boy: two goats or sheep
- Baby girl: one goat or sheep
- Ideally done on the 7th day after birth; if that day has passed, it can still be performed later
- The Zabiha is done in your child’s name, so please add the child’s name and the father’s name at checkout
- You receive pictures and videos of the process for full transparency
When you book an Aqeeqah online with Haramain, our team handles everything: selecting healthy animals that meet Shariah requirements, performing the Zabiha in Makkah, and sharing updates with you. On your side, you can complete the other Sunnah acts at home, such as naming your child and shaving the baby’s head.
As with all Qurbanis done in Makkah, the meat from your Aqeeqah is distributed to the less fortunate people living in the sacred city and to charitable organizations. The Haramain team makes sure the meat is not resold and reaches the needy directly. That way your Aqeeqah becomes both an act of gratitude for your child and a Sadaqah for those in need.
Haramain has been taking care of Zabiha in Makkah for almost 12 years. Book your child’s Aqeeqah today and let our team fulfil this blessed Sunnah on your behalf.
