Aqiqa (Sacrifice on Birth)

Narrated Salman bin 'Amir Ad-Dabbi (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):

I heard Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) saying, "Aqiqa is to
be offered for a (newly born) boy, so slaughter (an animal) for him, and
relieve him of his suffering."

(Note: It has been quoted in Fateh-AL-Bari that the majority of the
Religious Scholars agrees to the Hadith narrated in Sahih At-TlRMlZY that
the Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) was asked about Aqiqa and he
ordered 2 sheep for a boy and one sheep for a girl and that is his
tradition "SUNNA".)
