Aqiqahعقيقة
Mark the birth of a child by feeding families in need.
Aqiqah is the sunnah of sacrificing on the birth of a child and sharing the meat with families who need it. It is traditionally performed on the seventh day, though it can be done later. UMMA carries out the sacrifice through our field teams and distributes the meat to families.
