Salam alaykum waramatullahi wabarakathu.

I m curious to know how possible one can come across a knowledgeable imam that will officiate Aqiqa (naming ceremony) without collecting money from the visitors on that particular day.

I believe it's a usual tradition by some Alfas to officiate in such manner and they tend to favour themselves instead of the family that calls them to officiate.

Why is it so?

It is so, because they have no job or they are greedy. Don't you attend any halqoh in your neighborhood? I guess you should be able to get one through that.

Even though you don't need to call any Alfa for the aqeeqah. Just print the name of your Blessed Child in a small paper, give it to those that come to rejoice with you and give them food to eat. As simple as that, don't stress yourself about it bro.

Thanks so much for your ingenuity.
