Answer
✅ Answer: Please pay attention to the following narrations:
1 عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ حَازِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ: الْعَقِيقَةُ فِي الْغُلَامِ وَ الْجَارِيَةِ سَوَاءٌ.
📚 Al-Kafi, Vol. 6, p. 26
Translation: Imam Sadiq, peace be upon him, said: The Aqiqah for a girl and a boy is the same.
2 عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ: عَقِيقَةُ الْغُلَامِ وَ الْجَارِيَةِ كَبْشٌ.
📚 Al-Kafi, Vol. 6, p. 26
Translation: Imam Sadiq, peace be upon him, said: The Aqiqah for a girl and a boy is a male sheep (or ram).
3 عَنِ ابْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْعَقِيقَةِ فَقَالَ عَقِيقَةُ الْجَارِيَةِ وَ الْغُلَامِ كَبْشٌ كَبْشٌ
📚 Al-Kafi, Vol. 6, p. 26
Translation: Ibn Muskan said: I asked Imam Sadiq, peace be upon him, about the Aqiqah; the Imam said: The Aqiqah for a girl and a boy is a male sheep and a male sheep (it is the same).
✅ In most Shiite narrations, the Aqiqah for a girl and a boy has been made the same, and a male sheep and a male animal have been designated for it. However, Sheikh Saduq narrated the following narration in the book 'Man La Yahduruhu al-Faqih,' according to which a female animal is designated for a newborn girl and a male animal for a newborn boy, which can also be acted upon:
4 عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَارِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ فِي حَدِيثٍ قَالَ: إِنْ كَانَ ذَكَراً عُقَّ عَنْهُ ذَكَراً وَ إِنْ كَانَ أُنْثَى عُقَّ عَنْهَا أُنْثَى.
📚 Faqih, Vol. 3, p. 485
Translation: Imam Sadiq, peace be upon him, said in a hadith: If the newborn is a boy, a male (sheep, camel, or cow) is sacrificed for him, and if she is a girl, a female (sheep, cow, or camel) is sacrificed for her.
