Is it permissible to divide the 'Aqiqah between two different countries, such as Saudi Arabia and Egypt, so that part of it is slaughtered in each country, given the nature of my work? And what are the conditions related to that?

The Sunnah regarding the 'Aqiqah is to slaughter two sheep for a male and one sheep for a female, based on what has been reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). It is permissible to slaughter the two sheep in different countries to bring joy to the family.
