Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. This questioner says: I was born twins, a boy and a girl. The girl passed away on the fourth day. I performed the 'aqiqah for the boy with two cows, but I did not perform the 'aqiqah for the girl. Is there any...?
Answer:
For a girl, one animal is sufficient for one child, and a girl requires the 'aqiqah of one sheep. Yes.
