"Support Meaningful Celebrations with United Support Hand: Aqiqah Donations

Embrace the sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) by contributing to Aqiqah with KSZ (United Support Hand). When a child is born, it is a tradition to sacrifice livestock and share the meat among friends, relatives, and those in need within the community. This virtuous act, known as Aqiqah, holds significant importance in Islam .

Reflecting the Prophet's teachings, Aqiqah was generously performed by Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) for his beloved grandsons, Imam al-Hasan and Imam al-Husain (peace be upon them) .

Aisha (RA) narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said:“Slaughter two comparable sheep for a male newborn and one sheep for a female.” [Tirmidhi]

Support Meaningful Celebrations with United Support Hand: Aqiqah

Muslims are also encouraged to shave the child’s head and donate the weight of their hair in silver to vulnerable families. An Aqiqah usually takes place on the seventh day after a baby’s birth, but is sometimes performed later on. An Aqiqah ceremony is a celebration where the meat from the sacrificed animal is cooked and shared with family, friends and members of the community who are in need. United Support Hand runs an Aqiqah Project to which allows people to donate Aqiqah meat directly to those most in need. Its aim is to help vulnerable families who do not always know where their next meal is coming from, and to provide relief and lift their spirits as they face challenging circumstances.
