Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) performed aqiqah for al-Hasan and al-Husayn with one ram each. 1 [Narrated by Abu Dawud]
In narrations by al-Tirmidhi, al-Nasa’i, and Abu Dawud: “It does not harm you whether they are male or female.” Malik narrated from Nafi’ that Abdullah ibn Umar would give aqiqah to anyone in his family who asked, performing it with one sheep for both males and females. In another narration from Hisham ibn Urwah, his father Urwah ibn al-Zubayr performed aqiqah for his sons and daughters with one sheep each. We say: The charity of silver equivalent to the weight of al-Hasan’s hair (may Allah be pleased with him) is a specific case, not a general rule for us. 2
