One-third of the meat is for al-Qabilah (the special nurse). If the special nurse is the mother of the father of the newborn or a family member, then there is nothing for such nurse. It should be made in parts, cooked and distributed. It should be given only to those who are of the people of Walayah (people who believe in the divine authority of ‘A’immah).’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Everyone can eat from the meat of ‘Aqiqah except the mother.’”
