If the newborn's hair is not shaved while he is small, is it removed later because it is a nuisance? And is this act an act of pure worship or does it have a rational meaning?

The questioner : They say: This ruling is an act of pure worship?

The Shaykh : No, it appears to have a rational meaning.

The questioner : Okay, my Shaykh, if it is rational, and through, I mean, medicine, I have come to know its rationality, as I think it reached you that this is a nuisance and the like.

The Shaykh : But this is not the time for it now!

The questioner : I mean, the nuisance remained on the head.

The Shaykh : If it were.

The questioner : No, no, I say: Pardon me, my Shaykh, I say: The nuisance was not removed, I mean.

The Shaykh : It was not removed at its time. Now there is no nuisance for us to remove, since the hair is soft and in the period where its removal is beneficial.

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh : The cause has passed. I mean, as I always say, forever: Strike it as an example, she became two years old, she became five years old, and we sit and say: Removing the nuisance?!

The questioner : Five years, my Shaykh, I mean, or two years.
