Summary
In terms of obligation, aqiqah should be given priority, and a person who has reached puberty may perform aqiqah for himself. In terms of timing, when the qurban season is near, qurban is preferred first because it can only be done on 10 to 13 Zulhijjah, while aqiqah may be done at any time. If one is able, both may be performed.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
