Aqeeqa, watched live, priced by weight

The sunnah sacrifice for a newborn, booked by the kilo, performed on a live video call you keep the recording of, and delivered cut in Hyderabad.

Aqeeqa is the newborn sacrifice, on the seventh day, two animals for a boy, one for a girl. Priced per kilo of live weight: indicatively ₹700 to ₹850 per kg, so an 18 kg goat is ₹12,600 to ₹15,300. Watch the halal slaughter on a live video call; cut meat delivered in Hyderabad.

Priced per kilo, not a fixed rate

Animals are not interchangeable, so a single price for “one goat” hides more than it tells you. You choose a weight band instead: the animal is weighed on camera before slaughter and the final amount is calculated from that live weight, at an indicative ₹700 to ₹850 per kilo.

The majority position is two animals for a boy and one for a girl. Each animal is booked on its own weight, so the two need not match in size.

When it is performed

The seventh day after birth is the sunnah, and the day the child is customarily named and the hair shaved. If the seventh day passes, scholars permit the fourteenth or twenty-first, and many hold it may be performed later without loss.

How the booking works

  1. Choose the weight band and the date

    Book by kilo rather than a fixed price, give the child’s name, and pick the slot for the live video call. The name is recorded on the booking and read at the sacrifice.

  2. Animal weighed and tagged on camera

    You join the live video call and see the tagged animal weighed before anything else happens. The final price is calculated from that weight, on the call.

  3. Halal slaughter, watched live and recorded

    The slaughter is performed by a slaughterman following the sunnah method while you watch. The call is recorded and the video is sent to you with the tag number.

  4. Cut, packed and delivered in Hyderabad

    The meat is cut, packed and delivered to your address in Hyderabad, the only city served at present. Outside Hyderabad it is distributed to families in need and you receive a distribution report instead.

Where you are present, the meat is divided in the customary three parts, family, relatives and those in need.

Why the video matters

Aqeeqa is normally arranged over a phone call and confirmed with a message. Nothing proves the animal existed, that its weight matched the price, or that the slaughter was performed on the day you paid for.

The live call closes all three gaps at once: the weight is seen before the price is fixed, the slaughter is seen as it happens, and the recording stays with you afterwards. If the call cannot be completed, the booking is not charged.

Questions

How is the aqeeqa price calculated?

By the animal’s live weight, not a fixed package rate. Goats and sheep are indicatively ₹700 to ₹850 per kilo, so an 18 kg goat works out at roughly ₹12,600 to ₹15,300. The animal is weighed on the live video call before slaughter and the final price is confirmed from that weight.

Can I watch the aqeeqa on video?

Yes. You join a live video call at the time of slaughter, see the tagged animal weighed and the halal slaughter performed, and the call is recorded. The recording and the tag number are sent to you afterwards.

Where is the meat delivered?

Cut, packed and delivered to your address in Hyderabad, the only city served at present. Outside Hyderabad the meat is distributed to families in need and you receive a distribution report naming the area, the number of families and the date.

On which day should aqeeqa be performed?

The seventh day after birth is the sunnah, and the day the child is named. If it is missed, the fourteenth or twenty-first day is widely accepted, and many scholars permit it later still.

How many animals are needed for a boy or a girl?

The majority position is two goats or sheep for a boy and one for a girl. Each animal is booked and priced separately on its own weight, so the two need not be the same size.
