The ' is recommended, not obligatory. Its value cannot be given in cash; rather, a sheep must be slaughtered for each child. It is preferable to slaughter two sheep for a male and one for a female, though one sheep is sufficient for a child. It is recommended to cook the 'Aqiqah and give some or all of it as charity. It is permissible to slaughter it in any country by appointing someone to act on your behalf.
