‘Aqiqah for Boys or Girls is the Same

Hadith #4

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ عَقِيقَةُ الْغُلَامِ وَ الْجَارِيَةِ كَبْشٌ .

4. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from Hammad ibn Shu’ayb from abu Basir who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah , has said, ‘ ‘Aqiqah for a boy or a girl is one ram.’”
