The answer

The 'Aqiqah (sacrificial offering on the occasion of a child's birth) is a Sunnah. The Sunnah in it involves sacrificing one or two sheep for each individual. Participation in it is permissible if it is a camel or a cow. However, if the 'Aqiqah is a sheep, it is sufficient only for one person. It is permissible to delay the 'Aqiqah until circumstances become easy.
