The presenter:
Abu Muhammad from Jeddah, please go ahead.
The questioner:
Peace be upon you.
The presenter:
And upon you be peace.
The questioner:
How are you, Shaykh Salih?
The Shaykh:
May Allah welcome you.
The presenter:
Please proceed.
The questioner:
Long may you live, I had a child born twenty-five years ago, and I actually performed the 'aqiqah for him, but I only slaughtered one animal. The reason for this was my lack of understanding. So what is the ruling on that, Shaykh? May Allah bless you.
The Shaykh:
Praise be to Allah. As long as you slaughtered one, that is sufficient, especially since you say you could not afford more than that. It is acceptable, and praise be to Allah. Yes.

May Allah reward you,
