Borrowing to slaughter the 'aqiqah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: May Allah bless me with a child, but I do not have the ability to slaughter the 'aqiqah. He asks: Is it prescribed that I borrow money to slaughter this 'aqiqah?

Answer:
If you have the ability to repay the loan, you may borrow and slaughter the 'aqiqah, and having the ability is a good thing because it is a great religious observance. If you do not have the ability, it is not obligatory for you.
