After Seven Days from Birth Shaving is not Required

سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ مَوْلُودٍ يُحْلَقُ رَأْسُهُ بَعْدَ يَوْمِ السَّابِعِ فَقَالَ إِذَا مَضَى سَبْعَةُ أَيَّامٍ فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ حَلْقٌ.

“I once asked abu al-Hassan (a.s.), about the newborn: if shaving his head after seven days from his birth is required. He (the Imam) said, ‘When seven days pass shaving is not required.’”

إِذَا جَاوَزَتْ سَبْعَةُ أَيَّامٍ‌[1] فَلَا عَقِيقَةَ لَهُ‌[2].

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘When seven days from the birth of a child pass, then it is not ‘Aqiqah (the way it should have been).”’
