Aqiqah and Sadaqah Sacrifice
Mark a blessed moment or give purely for the sake of charity. With Children of Adam, you can arrange an Aqiqah for a newborn or a Sadaqah Sacrifice at any time of year. We carry out the sacrifice according to Islamic guidelines and distribute the meat to people in need through our trusted field teams.
Aqiqah is a voluntary act of gratitude performed to celebrate the birth of a child. Many families aim to do it on the seventh day after birth. If that isn’t possible, it can be done later. Aqiqah is commonly observed as two animals for a boy and one for a girl, where affordable and available.
A Sadaqah Sacrifice is a voluntary act of charity that may be offered any time in the year to benefit vulnerable people. It is not the same as Qurbani/Udhiyah, which is tied to specific days in Dhul Hijjah.
Comparison of purpose, timing, animals, beneficiaries, donor notes, and flexibility.
| Aspect | Aqiqah | Sadaqah Sacrifice |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Expression of gratitude for a child’s birth | Voluntary charity to help people in need |
| Timing | Ideally on day 7 after birth; later is permitted | Any time of the year |
| Number of animals | Commonly two for a boy and one for a girl (where affordable and available) | Typically one eligible animal |
| Meat distribution | Family may share; a portion is given to those in need | Prioritised for vulnerable families and individuals in need |
| Donor notes | You can include the child’s name and a preferred location (if available) | You may request a country; if not feasible, we allocate where need is highest |
| Flexibility | If day 7 isn’t possible, perform later when manageable | Fully flexible date; not tied to Dhul Hijjah like Qurbani/Udhiyah |
We perform sacrifices where our teams can distribute meat quickly and fairly. Current locations are confirmed based on need and operational access. If you have a preferred country, add it at checkout and we’ll do our best to accommodate. When that isn’t possible, we’ll allocate your gift where it has the most impact.
