What Prophet (sws) disliked was the custom associated with Aqiqa (an animal was sacrificed and its blood poured upon the child’s head, after which, the child’s head was shaved) but encouraged people to perform ibadah of animal sacrifice as a token of gratitude towards Allah.

‘Aqiqah in its origin is a name for custom among the Arabs in the time of the Prophet (sws). In this custom, an animal was sacrificed and its blood poured upon the child’s head, after which, the child’s head was shaved. It was believed that till such an act was performed upon the child, the child remained prone to calamities and sufferings’.
