Inability to slaughter the 'aqiqah for a newborn

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a person is unable to slaughter the 'aqiqah for a newborn, does he sin for that?

Answer:
He does not sin for that, because the 'aqiqah is a recommended practice (sunnah) and not obligatory. If it becomes easy for him, it is better to slaughter it; if it does not become easy, he owes nothing. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good and bless you.
