The answer

The is to slaughter the on the seventh day of the newborn's life. If that is not possible, then on the fourteenth, or else on the twenty-first, based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "The Aqiqah is slaughtered on the seventh, or on the fourteenth, or on the twenty-first." If one is unable to do so at these times due to financial hardship, he may perform the Aqiqah later when his situation becomes easier, and he is not required to repeat the slaughter.
