It is recommended to slaughter the 'Aqeeqah for both of them

Question :

My wife gave birth ten years ago to two male twins after carrying them for 6 months. Then, they both died after their delivery during the first day. Is it permissible to slaughter an 'Aqeeqah for them while noting that they were given names?

Answer:

It is recommended to slaughter an 'Aqeeqah for them. Two sheep that are suitable for sacrifice should be slaughtered for each one of them due to the generality of the confirmed Hadiths from the Prophet ﷺ about the legislation of the 'Aqeeqah. Among these Hadiths is the Hadith of Umm Kurz Al- Ka'biyyah, who said: "The Prophet commanded that two sheep be slaughtered as the 'Aqeeqah for a boy and one sheep for a girl." This was recorded by Ahmad and the Sunan compilers with an authentic chain of narration. You are given the choice between giving them (i.e., the meat) in charity or some of it in charity, or cooking it and inviting whoever you wish from your relatives, your neighbors, your brothers in Allâh's religion and some of the poor to eat from this meat.
