Shaving the hair of a newborn girl
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the hair of a newborn girl shaved like that of a boy?
The Shaykh:
No, in fact, there is no established evidence for shaving the head of a boy either; it is not established. However, they do it as a matter of juristic preference and to clean the child. As for the girl, no, her hair is not shaved. Shaving is for males. Yes.
The questioner:
You.
The Shaykh:
And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad.
