Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: It is well known that the Sunnah for the 'aqiqah for a boy is two sheep. He asks: Is it sufficient to slaughter a cow for him?
Answer:
That is better. If one slaughters a cow or a large camel, that is better. However, sharing is not accepted for one person: the whole camel, the whole cow, or the whole sheep for one person. Two sheep for one male, yes.
