Reading Time: < 1 minute
- Together with making Aqeeqah for the newborn baby the baby’s hair should also be shaven.
- After shaving the hair, it should be weighed and its equivalent weight in gold or silver, or the equivalent in cash should be given in charity.
- If one wishes then saffron could be rubbed on the head of the child. This was also a practice of the Sahaabah (Radhiyallahu anhum).
