Whoever is not able to perform the 'Aqeeqah, it is not due on him

Question :

I did not perform the sacrifice for the births of my children due to my lack of financial ability, so what is the ruling?

Answer:

As long as you were not able to carry out this action, there is nothing due on you. This is because Allâh says:
"So fear Allâh as much as you are able."

He also says:
"Allâh does not burden a soul except with what it can bear."

And the Prophet said:
"If I command you to do something, do it as much as you are able."

So, if the person is poor at the time of his child's birth, there is no sacrifice for birth due on him, because he is unable, and the acts of worship are not required if there is a lack of ability to perform them.
