وَ سَأَلَ إِدْرِيسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ اَلْقُمِّيُّ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: عَنْ مَوْلُودٍ يُولَدُ فَيَمُوتُ يَوْمَ اَلسَّابِعِ هَلْ يُعَقُّ عَنْهُ قَالَ "إِنْ كَانَ مَاتَ قَبْلَ اَلظُّهْرِ لَمْ يُعَقَّ عَنْهُ وَ إِنْ كَانَ مَاتَ بَعْدَ اَلظُّهْرِ عُقَّ عَنْهُ".

Idris ibn Abdullah Al-Qummi asked Abu Abdullah (a.s) about a newborn who is born and dies on the seventh day. Should the Aqiqah be performed for him? Imam (a.s) replied: "If he dies before noon, the Aqiqah is not performed for him. But if he dies after noon, the Aqiqah should be performed for him."
