Question:
This questioner says: Are the conditions for the 'aqiqah of a newborn the same as the conditions for the 'Id sacrifice? And if someone delays the 'aqiqah for more than three years, does he commit a sin?
Answer:
Yes, the conditions required for the 'aqiqah are exactly the same as those required for the 'Id sacrifice. There is nothing wrong with delaying it; it is permissible to delay it for one or two years, but the sooner one does it, the better. Yes.
