Is it permissible for the Udhiyah (sacrifice) to serve as both the Udhiyah and the 'Aqiqah for the newborn at the same time, due to the inability to slaughter two animals?

Scholars differed regarding combining the Udhiyah (sacrifice) and the 'Aqiqah (sacrifice for a newborn) into one act, holding two views: some permitted combining them, and this is the view of Imam Ahmad; while others prohibited it, and this is the view of the Shafi'is. The preponderant view is that they should not be combined for those who have ample means and ability. However, for those who do not have ample means, they may combine them, taking the view of Ahmad. Accordingly, if you cannot afford the cost of two sacrifices, you may slaughter one sheep with the intention of both the Udhiyah and the 'Aqiqah.
