Is it permissible to slaughter a ram or a goat, or is it obligatory to slaughter a goat for the creation of a child? Is it permissible to delay the slaughter until ten days, or must it be on the seventh day? Is it a confirmed Sunnah or just a Sunnah?

As for the aqiqah for the newborn, it is permissible to offer sheep, goats, camels, or cattle, and it is like the udhiyah (sacrificial animal) in all respects. Its ruling is a confirmed Sunnah, and it is recommended to offer it on the seventh day. If that is not possible, then on the fourteenth day, or the twenty-first, and if not, then on any day thereafter.
