Can aqiqah be performed using animals like goats or buffalo for meat?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
At the occasion of shadi (nikah) ceremony the animal used like goat, buffalo for meat can be possible for aqiqah?

Answer

(Fatwa: 121/112/B=1434)

If it is the feast of sunnat walimah then it is not necessary separate goat for walimah. One goat shall suffice for both. If you are slaughtering buffalo etc then you can fix one or two shares for aqiqah and rest of the shares for walimah, then it is also correct.
