Aqeeqah (Sacrificial Animal)

Aqeeqah (Sacrificial Animal):
Seeing an aqeeqah in a dream symbolizes news of the return of an absent person, the healing of someone who is ill, or the release of a prisoner. It may also indicate a strengthening of faith and adherence to the Sunnah.
If, in a dream, the aqeeqah is performed with an animal that is normally permitted for sacrificial slaughter (such as for Eid al-Adha), it points to a righteous and correct action—whether it concerns worldly matters or those of the Hereafter.
However, if someone dreams that they have slaughtered and served a pig or a dead (carrion) animal to others—knowing that such is forbidden—this indicates disobedience either toward one’s parents or toward Allah, the Exalted.ing, return, spiritual strength, or disobedience—depending on the context.
