Commentary
According to Abū 'Ubaidah, 'Aqīqah' is the hair that is on the head of a newly born baby. As this hair is shaved on the seventh day after birth, and an animal is slaughtered, therefore, all this process is named 'Aqīqah'. According to Imām Aḥmad, slaughtering an animal for this particular event is called 'Aqīqah'
