Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Also, regarding the 'aqiqah, he says: When the newborn reaches seven days, his head is shaved. He asks: Is this specific to the male, or is the female's head also shaved?
Answer:
It is specific to the male. The female's head is not shaved; rather, her head is cleaned and left as is. This is because the growth of a woman's hair is part of her beauty.
