Is the aqiqah slaughtered by a person for his newborn son, while saying at the time of slaughter: "In the name of Allah, Allah is the greatest. O Allah, this is on behalf of Omar the son of Fatimah," permissible or forbidden?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Naming the newborn at the time of sacrificing the aqiqah is legislated, for the Prophet offered aqiqah for Al-Hasan and Al-Husayn, and he said: "Say, 'In the name of Allah, Allah is the greatest. O Allah, this is the aqiqah of so-and-so.'" There is no objection to adding his lineage to him or to his mother.
