4714 - وَ رَوَى عَمَّارٌ اَلسَّابَاطِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "اَلْعَقِيقَةُ لاَزِمَةٌ لِمَنْ كَانَ غَنِيّاً وَ مَنْ كَانَ فَقِيراً إِذَا أَيْسَرَ فَعَلَ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَقْدِرْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ شَيْءٌ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَعُقَّ عَنْهُ حَتَّى ضَحَّى عَنْهُ فَقَدْ أَجْزَأَتْهُ اَلْأُضْحِيَّةُ وَ كُلُّ مَوْلُودٍ مُرْتَهَنٌ بِعَقِيقَتِهِ" وَ قَالَ فِي اَلْعَقِيقَةِ "يُذْبَحُ عَنْهُ كَبْشٌ فَإِنْ لَمْ يُوجَدْ كَبْشٌ أَجْزَأَهُ مَا يُجْزِي فِي اَلْأُضْحِيَّةِ وَ إِلاَّ فَحَمَلٌ أَعْظَمُ مَا يَكُونُ مِنْ حُمْلاَنِ اَلسَّنَةِ".
Hadith.4714 - Ammar Al-Sabati narrated from Abu Abdullah 
who said:
"Aqiqah is obligatory for those who are wealthy. As for the poor, when they become financially capable, they should perform it. If they are unable to do so, then nothing is required of them.
If Aqiqah was not done for a person until a sacrifice (Udhiyyah) was offered on their behalf, the sacrifice suffices for them. Every newborn is held in pledge by their Aqiqah."
Imam also said regarding Aqiqah: "A ram should be slaughtered on their behalf. If a ram is not available, anything permissible for sacrifice in Udhiyyah will suffice. If that is not possible, then a lamb, the largest among the lambs of the year, should be offered."
