Question

Someone informed me that the bones of the Aqeeqah animal should be kept intact. This must later be buried so that one attains rewards. Is there any basis for this in the Shariah?

Answer

There is absolutely no basis for such a practice in the Shariah.

How is aqeeqah done, and is it compulsory?

“Fuqaha state that it is Mustahab to eat from the Aqeeqah animal, feed others, and give it in Sadaqah. Hence, one may host a function in moderation, and feed one’s relatives and the poor while adhering to the laws of Hijab.…”
