Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If a person wants to give the value of the 'aqiqah as money to some widows and orphans, is that permissible for him?
Answer:
No, it is not sufficient for the 'aqiqah, because the 'aqiqah is a religious observance, so money does not take its place.
