Firstly: This sacrifice which is done for the newborn is called 'aqeeqah. The scholars differed concerning the ruling on 'aqeeqah; some of them said that it is obligatory and others said that it is Sunnah mu'akkadah (a confirmed Sunnah). The scholars of the Standing Committee said: 'Aqeeqah is Sunnah mu'akkadah. For a boy two sheep should be sacrificed, each of which should meet the same conditions as a sheep for udhiya (sacrifice), and for a girl one sheep should be sacrificed. The sheep should be slaughtered on the seventh day, but if there is a delay it may be slaughtered at any time, and there is no sin in delaying it, although it is preferable to do it as soon as possible. And Allaah is the Source of strength; may Allaah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and companions.
Secondly: With regard to the purpose of the 'aqeeqah, it was mentioned in a hadeeth of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him): "Every child is in pledge for his 'aqeeqah." The scholars differed as to the meaning of this hadeeth. It was said that the meaning is that if the 'aqeeqah is not done for him and he dies in childhood, he will be prevented from interceding for his parents; or that the 'aqeeqah is a means of ridding the child of the Shaytaan and protecting him from him. The child may miss out on something good if his parents neglect to do the 'aqeeqah even though that is not his action, just as when the parents have intercourse, if the father says 'Bismillaah" the Shaytaan will not harm his child, and if he fails to do so the child will not have this protection.

What is the fastest growning religion in the world?
It depends entirely on how the question is read. If the question is asking what is the largest religion that is still growing, the answer would be Christianity since there are more and more Christians born and converted every day than convert out or die. If the question is asking what religion is growing by the largest numbers of new followers (both births and converts), then the answer would be Islam, since the population growth in Muslim-majority countries has made Islam the religion with the most new adherents daily. If the question is asking what religion has the greatest percentage of growth, then this would be a contest between a number of very small religions which have high percentage increases, but low current population counts, such as Baha'i or Jehovah's Witnesses. Although these cannot match the numerical growth of Christianity or Islam, the thousands of converts and newborns have a much higher relative to the <20 million adherents to the religion.
