Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 629/629/M=1431)

It is mustahab in aqiqah to shave hair of the baby for whom aqiqah is being performed and to give silver equal to its hair in charity. If someone does not do so i.e. does not shave the hair, then too aqiqah would be performed though it would not be better.
