Question :

Is it Sunnah to cook the meat of the 'aqīqah?



The Answer :

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

It is Sunnah not to distribute the meat of the 'aqīqah raw. Rather, it is recommended to cook it with something sweet — such as raisins or honey — as a good omen and expression of hope for the sweetness of the newborn's character and conduct throughout their life. And Allah Almighty knows best.
