Fatwa number ( 14108 )
Q: I havebeen blessed with a male child, and upon the completion of forty days from his birth, I slaughtered one sheep as the 'aqiqah sacrifice, and after ten days, I slaughtered the second 'aqiqah, which was a goat.Since the first 'aqiqah was from the sheep family and the second was from the goat family, and since I slaughtered each one separately from the other, with days in between, and given the circumstances as described, I hope you will kindly issue a ruling on whether these two 'aqiqah sacrifices are sufficient? May Allah preserve you and care for you.
A: If the goat is one year old, it suffices for the 'aqiqah. For the male child, one sheep and one goat are sufficient. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
