Question :

What is the Islamic ruling on breaking the bones 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 break the bones of the 'aqīqah. Rather, each bone should be separated at its joint — as a good omen and expression of hope for the soundness and wholeness of the newborn's limbs. However, if one does break the bones, it is not considered disliked (makrūh) — it is simply regarded as contrary to what is preferable (khilāf al-awlā). And Allah Almighty knows best.
