‘Aqiqah for Boys or Girls is the Same

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مَرَّارٍ عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنِ ابْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْعَقِيقَةِ فَقَالَ عَقِيقَةُ الْغُلَامِ وَ الْجَارِيَةِ كَبْشٌ كَبْشٌ .
3. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ’Isma‘il ibn Marrar Yunus from ibn Muskan who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, about ‘Aqiqah and he (the Imam) said, ‘ ‘Aqiqah for a boy and a girl is the same, one ram for this and one ram for this.’”
