Is it permissible to slaughter the Aqiqah sacrifice after Asr, and is there a specific time for it?
It is permissible to slaughter the Aqiqah after Asr. Its recommended time is the seventh day, and it is legislated to slaughter it throughout the day, just like the Udhiyah. The Sunnah is to slaughter it on the seventh day, and some have mentioned that it is recommended to slaughter it after sunrise. However, if it is slaughtered after Asr, it is sufficient.
