Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Regarding the 'aqiqah, is it permissible to slaughter a sheep, or is it necessary to slaughter a male goat?
The Shaykh:
My brother, a sheep is a goat, and a goat is a sheep, or did you mean a gazelle?
The questioner:
He prays like the one who is in a state of ihram.
The Shaykh:
As you heard, this one is one year old; a one-year-old does not suffice. Yes.
