Summary
A cow or camel may be shared among seven portions, and according to the Shafi'i and Hanafi schools, the intentions for qurban and aqiqah may be combined within the same animal. The well-known view of the Maliki and Hanbali schools does not permit this, since the two sacrifices have different purposes. The fatwa adopts the permissibility of combining the intentions because the matter involves scholarly disagreement. For those who can afford it, separating qurban and aqiqah is better in order to avoid the disagreement.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kami berpendapat bahawa boleh untuk disekalikan niat korban dan aqiqah pada bahagian lembu dan juga unta seperti mana yang dinaskan oleh pendapat dari kalangan al-Syafi'ieyyah dan juga al-Hanafiah.
