The Number in Aqiqah Between Male and Female

Question
Is the Aqiqah for a male two, and for a female one, or is it both according to the parents' ability?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: In our doctrine, the blood of the 'Aqiqah is merely a means of drawing closer to Allah, and it can be two or one, depending on the desire and ability of the donor, and Allah knows best.
