Is reciting Surat Luqman after shaving the newborn's head part of the Sunnah?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. This questioner says: The custom in our country is that after the 'aqiqah is slaughtered and the child's head is shaved, Surat Luqman is recited for him if he is a boy.

Answer:
There is no basis for this; it is a bid'ah (religious innovation). Yes.
