Do the rulings concerning a newborn apply equally to males and females?

Question : The questioner asks: Are the rulings related to a newborn the same for males and females?

Answer : Regarding the male, many rulings are mentioned. As for naming, the newborn is named, whether male or female, at birth if the name has been prepared, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) entered upon his wives, or one of his wives, and said, "A child was born to me tonight. A boy, so I named him Ibrahim." If the name is prepared and ready, name him from the time of birth. However, if it is not prepared or specified and consultation is ongoing, delay it until the seventh day.
This applies to both the male and the female. As for shaving the head on the seventh day, this is specific to the male; the female’s head is not shaved. As for the 'aqiqah, the male and female differ: for the male, it is two sheep for one who is able, and for the female, it is one sheep. If one limits it to one sheep for the male, there is no harm, because it is narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he performed the 'aqiqah
This follows the man’s condition. If he is wealthy, the two are better; otherwise, one is sufficient for the male. For the female, it is one. I advise my wealthy brothers, those whom Allah has made wealthy, not to exceed the Sunnah in this matter, because some people may slaughter two or three, whether for males or females, and claim that this is not sufficient—that one for the female or two for the male is not enough for one who wants to gather people for this 'aqiqah. We say it is not obligatory to gather many people. Give charity from it, feed from it, and if you intend to benefit a small number, do so. Or if you intend a large group, distribute the meat among the dishes, even if it is a little. However, showing off with it and taking it out of its proper context, such that a person slaughters more than two for males or more than one for females, this is not permissible. For the best of sacrificial animals is the sacrifice of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). If someone asks, "What if the seventh day for the 'aqiqah is missed?"
