Summary
A cow counts as seven shares, and it is permissible to take some shares for korban and the rest for aqiqah, such as four for korban and three for aqiqah. At the time of slaughter, it must be made clear who the korban is for and who the aqiqah is for. Even so, it is better to perform korban and aqiqah separately.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Seekor lembu mewakili tujuh bahagian sama ada untuk dibuat akikah atau korban. Oleh itu dibolehkan mengambil empat bahagian untuk korban dan tiga bahagian untuk akikah
