Aqiqah Rites Dream Meaning

(Hair of a newborn, Immolation offered on the seventh day for a newborn, Islamic tradition of shaving the hair of a newborn on the seventh day after his birth, Sacrament, Weighing the shaved hair of a newborn and distributing an equal measure in gold or silver in charity for his benefit.) The offering of an Aqiqah ceremony in a dream represents glad tidings, the arrival of a long awaited person, recovering from an illness, or the release of a prisoner. Participating in the sacrament of the Aqiqah rites in a dream also could represent a growing faith and certitude, and emulating the blessed traditions of Allah’s Prophet, upon whom be peace.

If the sacrifice presented in one’s dream on that day is a permissible one and if one fulfils all the necessary rituals in his dream, then it denotes his praiseworthy character and the success of his endeavors.

If one offers a non-permissible sacrifice in his dream and presents it to people to eat from, then his dream represents a recalcitrant child, or a rebellious son.
