Article: Giving Charity (in Silver) Equal to the Weight of a Newborn's Hair

. Posted in Site News

Image Answered by Shaykh Muhammad Ibn 'Umar Bazmool
It has been reported that Faatimah – may Allaah be pleased with her – used to give charity (in silver) equal to the weight of her newborn’s hair after shaving it on the seventh day.  Is that a Sunnah she got from the Prophet – may Allaah raise his rank and grant him peace – or was it her own preferred way of giving (optional) charity?

What seems correct is that it was a Sunnah she learned from the Messenger – may Allaah raise his rank and grant him peace – to give the weight of the newborn’s (shaven) hair in silver.
