Is it permissible to slaughter the 'aqiqah in a country other than one's own at a lower price?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: If I am blessed with a child and the price of the 'aqiqah in my country is very high, is it permissible for me to slaughter the 'aqiqah in another country at a lower price?

The Shaykh:
What is it?

The questioner:
If I am blessed with a child and I do not slaughter the 'aqiqah for him because the price is very high, is it permissible for me to slaughter the 'aqiqah in another country because the price is lower?

The Shaykh:
I mean, if you go to another country to slaughter it, this does not become an 'aqiqah; it is a charity. But if your intention is that you have moved to another country and you slaughter it in the place where you reside, whether it is your original country or a second country, in the place where you live, that is the Sunnah. But if you go to slaughter it in such-and-such a country because it is cheaper, this is not considered a charity; it is not considered an 'aqiqah. Yes.
