It is sunnah for a Muslim to perform the 'aqiqah for his daughter on her seventh day. If that is not possible, then on the fourteenth, or the twenty-first day. Otherwise, on any day thereafter. It is permissible to slaughter the 'aqiqah and gift all of it to a neighbor; it is considered sufficient, as the person offering the 'aqiqah or gift is permitted to dispose of its meat as they wish.
