Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I want to perform the 'aqiqah for my son, so what is the age of the sheep I slaughter that would be sufficient?

It is like the age of the udhiyah. If it is a goat, it must be at least six months old, and if it is a sheep, it must be a full year old.
