Summary
According to the definitive view in the Shafi'i school, the intentions for qurban and aqiqah cannot be combined in one slaughter. Both are recommended acts of worship with their own causes and purposes: qurban expresses gratitude for the blessing of life, while aqiqah expresses gratitude for the birth of a child. The ruling notes scholarly disagreement: Ibn Hajar al-Haitami, the Malikis and one report from Imam Ahmad disallow combining them, while al-Ramli, the Hanafis and another report from Imam Ahmad permit it.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Menurut pandangan muktamad dalam Mazhab Syafie, tidak boleh menggabungkan niat akikah dan korban dalam satu masa.
