Aqeeqah for New Muslims?

Aqeeqah is only prescribed for a new-born. It is not prescribed for a new Muslim revert.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Jamiatul Ulama KZN. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
