What is the validity of the statement of some that if a person shaves the hair of his head, he should distribute it among the people?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you and may He reward you with good. He says: I heard some people say that if a person shaves the hair of his head, he is required to distribute it among the people. Is this correct?

Answer:
This is invalid; it is not correct. Rather, this is specific to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has specific characteristics, one of which is that people seek blessing in his hair (peace and blessings be upon him) and what has separated from his noble body. As for others, people do not seek blessing in them, because the Companions did not seek blessing in the best of the Ummah after its Prophet, namely Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, Uthman, and Ali, nor in the rest of the Ten, nor in the best of the other Companions from the people of Badr, or the people of the Pledge of Pleasure, or the Emigrants, or the Helpers. They did not do this with their righteous ones and their scholars, and they did not seek blessing in them, whether alive or dead, because this is among the means of shirk (associating partners with Allah). Yes.
