Assalamaualikaum dear respected Syed
Praying you are well inshAllah
Please can you guide me regarding this small matter
My nephew has Alhamdolillah had a beautiful healthy baby girl 5 weeks ago
He has decided not to shave her birth hair off. He says because it is a girl there is no compulsion- he is the follower of one of the four Sunni Imams, I am not sure which one
I will be extremely grateful if you could tell me what is the opinion of Ahlulbayt AS on this and also what the sunni school of thought says about shaving a baby girls hair.
JazzakAllah many thanks
May Allah grant you a healthy long long life , to guide us always
Khuda hafiz

Answer:- Wa Alaykum Assalam wr wb
Shaving the hair of the newly born child (male or female) is recommended according to Shia and Sunni schools of Sharia. It is just recommended which means that it is not obligatory.
Wassalam.
