What is the ruling on delaying the 'aqiqah when one is able to perform it?

The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh : May Allah preserve you

The questioner: But, our Shaykh, I relied on the book regarding the 'aqiqah and the beard

The Shaykh : ...

The questioner: : The basis is that, our Shaykh, praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, today our Lord, Glorified and Exalted is He, has blessed us with a son

The Shaykh: : What Allah willed, this is good news that was not on our minds

The questioner: : May Allah reward you with good, our Shaykh

The Shaykh: : Perhaps another good news will follow it

The questioner : With Allah's permission.

The Shaykh : Welcome.

The questioner: : May Allah reward you with good, our Shaykh

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner: : The question was whether it is permissible for a person to delay the 'aqiqah when he is able to perform it?

The Shaykh: : No, it is not permissible except by spacing it out over three weeks: the first, second, or third week

The questioner: : And it must be on the seventh day, or the fourteenth, or the twenty-first, our Shaykh

The Shaykh : Yes, that is so

The questioner : May Allah reward you with good, our Shaykh.

The Shaykh : May Allah preserve you

The questioner: May Allah bless you.

The Shaykh : Welcome.

The questioner: : Welcome, our Shaykh

The Shaykh: : What did you have, a boy or a girl?

The questioner: : A boy, our Shaykh

The Shaykh: : Then it is two 'aqiqahs, what Allah willed

The questioner : With Allah's permission.

The Shaykh : May Allah reward you

The questioner: : Welcome, our Shaykh

The Shaykh: And peace be upon you

The questioner : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
