Withholding the newborn from intercession and its indication of the obligation of the 'aqiqah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: The one who does not perform the 'aqiqah for his child will be withheld from intercession for him. Does that indicate that the 'aqiqah is obligatory?

Answer:
No, in truth it is a recommended practice (sunnah), not obligatory. Yes.
