The majority of jurists are of the opinion that the can be from camels and cattle, just as it can be from sheep. If the aqiqah is from cattle or camels, it suffices for seven people, by analogy with the sacrificial offering (hady) and the (sacrifice of Eid al-Adha). Based on this, if a cow meets the conditions of the udhiyah, it is permissible for it to be offered as aqiqah for seven individuals.
