Delaying aqeeqah if one has enough money for qurbaani only
Question
Asking for a family member... It's now time for qurbaani but they have money saved with the intention for aqeeqah for their son... What should be done in this case?
Answer
If qurbaani is compulsory upon them, then they should first do their waajib qurbaani. They may delay the aqeeqah for a later period.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
