What Day an Aqiqah Should Be Done

A question was asked regarding when an Aqiqah [sacrifice of an animal upon a child’s birth] should be done?

The Promised Messiah (as) answered:

On the seventh day. If for some reason it is not possible, then whenever God grants the ability. It is found in one tradition that the Holy Prophet (sas) did his own Aqiqah at the age of forty years. Such narrations should be looked at benevolently so long as it does not contravene the Holy Quran or the authentic Ahadith.

Offering Prayer Between the Pillars of a Mosque

Someone asked about standing next to the pillar during Prayer.

The Promised Messiah (as) said:

In extraordinary circumstances, everything is allowed. These things should not be given much consideration. The real thing is that in accord with the desire of God, one should worship God with full sincerity. This is usually overlooked.1
