    Title: Is Qurbani wajib for my wife? if the aqiqah is not done in her name?

    Question: Aqiqah is not performed on my wife's name by her parents, so I want to do aqiqah in her name. She is 25 years old; also I want to know since Eid al-Azha is nearing. Can I offer qurbani in her name before doing aqiqah in her name?

    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    (Fatwa: 14/15/B=01/1435) Yes, you may do qurbani in her name before the aqiqah also, you may do aqiqah later.
