Is it permissible to sacrifice a calf as an Uḍḥiyah before it reaches one year of age if its meat is better, or must it exceed two years, even if its meat is not palatable? And is it permissible for the 'Aqīqah and Uḍḥiyah for a child to be offered with a single sacrifice?

A cow less than two years old is not sufficient as a sacrifice (udhiyah); rather, it is meat like any other meat. It is more cautious not to share the intention when slaughtering between the udhiyah and the 'aqiqah.
