Samurah ibn
Jundub (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be

should be made for him on the
seventh day, he should be given a name and his head should be shaved."

related to me from Malik from Nafi that if any of Abdullah ibn Umar's family asked him for an aqiqa, he would give it to them. He gave a sheep as aqiqa for both his male and female children. (Maliks Muwatta)
