Praise be to Allah.
Aqeeqah on Seventh day is Sunnah and preferred but..
There is nothing wrong with slaughtering the ‘aqeeqah on their behalf, even if they have passed the age of four years, although it would have been better to hasten to do it. But if it has been delayed, then there is nothing wrong with doing this; he may slaughter it whenever he can afford to do that.
With regard to where the ‘aqeeqah is slaughtered, there is no specific place for that; rather it is permissible to slaughter it in the city where they were born, or elsewhere, because it is an act of worship for which no place is specified.
With regard to eating the meat, the ‘aqeeqah comes under the same ruling as the udhiyah (sacrifice); it is mustahabb for the one who offers it to eat from it himself, to give some in charity, and to give some as gifts to his neighbours and friends.
End quote from Majmoo‘ Fataawa ash-Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan (2/572)
And Allah knows best.
Doing Aqeeqah when children have grown up, Doing Aqeeqah after seven days.; Aqeeqah got delayed, can I do it now?; I have not done aqeeqah of my children, can I offer sacrifice now; My aqeeqah will be accepted if I do it after seven days; Do aqeeqah on seventh day after birth; My Parents have not done aqeeqah, what I should do; When to do aqeeqah; Best and preferred day for aqeeqah
