Question
For Aqeeqah and naming the child, how is the seventh day determined. Is it 7X24 hours from the time of the birth? If the child was born on Friday at 2 pm, when will be the 7th day?
Answer
The seventh day for Aqeeqah purposes is always the day before, in this case it is Thursday. For Aqeeqah purposes, do not count the hours. Just regard the day before to be the 7th day. If the child is born on a Wednesday at any time, the 7th day will be Tuesday. If born on a Monday, the 7th day will be Sunday.
