The ruling on slaughtering more than two sheep for the 'aqiqah

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, I seek Allah's forgiveness. It has become widespread among people today in the 'aqiqah to slaughter more than two for a male or a female, on the pretext of the large number of guests. What is the ruling on that?

Answer:
This is an addition to the Sunnah. The Sunnah is two sheep for a male and one sheep for a female. The scholars mentioned that if one slaughters a camel or a cow, there is no harm in that, but there must be no partnership in it. Rather, a camel suffices for one person and a cow suffices for one person. That is, it is not said that seven people share it, as is the case with the 'Id sacrifice. No, a camel is for one person. If he wants to slaughter a camel, the people of the town should not object to him. Yes.
