Question :

Is it valid for the 'aqīqah to be performed using the newborn child's own wealth?



The Answer :

All praise is due to Allah, and may peace and blessings be upon our Master, the Messenger of Allah.

It is not permissible for the guardian to perform the 'aqīqah using the newborn child's own wealth, because the 'aqīqah is a voluntary act of giving (tabarru'), and a guardian is prohibited from making voluntary expenditures from the child's wealth. Should he do so, he becomes financially liable for what he spent. And Allah Almighty knows best.
