The answer

The predominant view is that whoever fails to spend the nights in Mina must offer a sacrifice (dam). It is not permissible for him to combine it with the ' (sacrifice for a newborn) with a single intention, because each of them is an act of worship intended for its own sake and has a different cause. The intermingling between them invalidates the purpose of each. Since combining the ' (sacrifice for Eid al-Adha) and 'Aqiqah is prohibited, prohibiting the combination of 'Aqiqah and the dam required for failing to spend the nights in Mina is even more appropriate.
