Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !
(Fatwa: 1190/771/H=1433) The qualities of the animal for aqiqah should be similar to the animal of qurbani. The ruling regarding the slaughter of goat is that though it looks as healthy as one year old but it is not lawful to slaughter it in aqiqah or qurbani; thus aqiqah was not valid. If there is no problem you should slaughter two goats for aqiqah and divide the meat into three parts; one part for the poor and needy ones, one share for relatives and one share for personal use. It is better. It is not the order of Shariah to arrange for meal in aqiqah.
