Question
Is it permissible to combine the sacrifice and the aqeeqah in one sheep according to the Hanafi school?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: The 'Aqiqah' is a form of sacrifice and is not a Sunnah by itself, and it is not correct to combine the intention between it and the 'Udhiyah' because the 'Udhiyah' is obligatory, and the intention for the 'Udhiyah' takes precedence because it is stronger. And God knows best.
