Is it permissible to combine the intention for the 'Id sacrifice and the 'aqiqah?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says in his long question: I have three sons. I performed the 'aqiqah for the firstborn, but I did not perform the 'aqiqah for the second and third due to financial circumstances. The question is: Is it permissible for me to combine the intention in Hajj so that the 'Id sacrifice also serves as the 'aqiqah?

Answer:
No, the time for it has passed. The time for the 'aqiqah has passed. If they have grown up and reached maturity, the time for the 'aqiqah has passed. It is a recommended practice (sunnah), and the time for it has passed. And if you left it off, you are excused, so there is nothing required of you.
