Peace be upon you. Is it permissible to donate the amount of 'Aqiqah for my newborn daughter to a campaign supporting Yemen and Gaza, with the slaughter of the 'Aqiqah being done through them?

Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Khamenei and Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sistani (may Allah protect them):
It is not a condition for the 'Aqiqah to be slaughtered in the country of the newborn or the parents; it is sufficient to have it slaughtered anywhere. Therefore, you can appoint someone in another country to perform the 'Aqiqah on your behalf.
May you be successful in all good.
