If it is not possible to combine the 'Udhiyah (sacrifice) and 'Aqeeqah (sacrifice for a newborn), then prioritize the 'Udhiyah over the 'Aqeeqah, because the 'Udhiyah is more emphasized than the 'Aqeeqah, and its time is restricted, unlike the 'Aqeeqah, which can be slaughtered on any day after the seventh. It is permissible to slaughter a large animal (like a camel or cow) with the intention that part of it is for the 'Aqeeqah and the other part for the 'Udhiyah. There is no harm in distributing the 'Aqeeqah meat raw. Swallowing phlegm does not invalidate the fast, though it is more cautious to avoid it.
