Is the hair of a newborn girl who has been shaved weighed in silver or gold?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaving the head and weighing it: shaving the girl’s head and giving out gold and silver in it is permissible.
The Shaykh : No, the original practice is silver.
The questioner : The principle.
The Shaykh : Silver.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes, but silver has become valueless, so when someone wants to check the weight of the hair in silver, it comes out to ten cents, which has no value. However, the Shari'ah ruling is this, and the meaning of the statement is that whoever gives more, Allah will increase for him.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Perhaps the man is poor and destitute, so let him check the ten cents; it is not a burden on him.
The questioner : The brother who called you on the phone; we asked about his questions.
The Shaykh : ... .
