The sufficiency of slaughtering a calf for the 'aqiqah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it sufficient in the 'aqiqah to slaughter a calf instead of a sheep?

Answer:
Yes, if it is two years old, and if the camel is five years old. In fact, it is better, because it has more meat, provided it is two years old. Yes.
