Dividing a Cow Among Several Lambs

The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, Shaykh Salih. The listener Abu Yasin, an Egyptian working in Saudi Arabia, says: I have two sons, and for their 'aqiqah (sacrifice for a newborn) I slaughtered four lambs. My father has a vow (nadhr) for two lambs. Is it permissible for us to slaughter one cow for the six lambs?
The Shaykh:
Yes, there is nothing wrong with that. A cow suffices for seven, and a camel suffices for seven. Yes.
The questioner:
And does the 'aqiqah count toward this?
The Shaykh:
Yes, it counts toward it.
