Is it permissible to postpone the 'aqiqah sacrifice for my daughter since 2004? Is it valid to perform the sacrifice on a Saturday if the first week of her birth was completed on a Saturday? Is it permissible to share in the sacrifice of a cow for my infant daughter's 'aqiqah, with another person intending it for healing? Or must I sacrifice an animal solely for the 'aqiqah?
There is no objection to slaughtering the 'aqiqah now, on any day, and it is not necessary for it to be on a Saturday. Similarly, there is no objection to sharing a cow, such that one-seventh of it is for the 'aqiqah of your daughter, and the rest is for your relative with whatever intention he desires.
