Aqeeqah meat

Q: Can Mufti Saheb please explain the sunnat of serving the Aqeeah meat. It has become quite common to have Aqeeqah braais and meals. Is it a Sunnat to do this? If not, is it something we should avoid? What is the actual Sunnah regarding Aqeeqah?

Islamic Online University which is run by Dr Bilal Philips

Q: I am a home schooling mother who really wants to learn as much as she can about Islam but due to my commitments I am not able to leave home to attend any lessons. I have recently come to know of a website called Islamic Online University which is run by Dr Bilal Philips which offers a range of Islamic courses. I would like to know if it will be permissible for me to study this way and through this institute as I am very worried about their aqeeda and if I will be learning the correct Islamic beliefs that I should have.
