What should I do after distributing the 'Aqiqah meat with broken bones, given that I was unaware of this condition?
The hadiths reported concerning the prohibition of breaking the bones of the 'aqiqah (sacrificial animal for a newborn) are not authentic upon investigation. Imam Malik and Ibn Shihab held the view that it is permissible to break its bones for the purpose of feeding neighbors and benefiting from it, as no sound Sunnah has been established to prohibit it.
