Meat from aqiqah is sunnah to be cooked first prior to being served, a little different to the act of qurban where meat is distributed raw. However at IKHLAS, not all meat from aqiqah will be cooked. Some will be distributed raw particularly to recipients who usually live futher out and/or in rural inland areas. And typically, the meat is cooked if there are events that gather the local community such as recital events, wedding banquets and breaking of fast.
