“The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, ‘Every child is born with a pledge (AQIQAH) on him, to be sacrificed for the sake of Allah, so slaughter for him and remove the hair (on his head) and name him.'” – Narrated by Abu Dawud and others.
This hadith highlights the importance of Aqiqah, which involves sacrificing an animal (usually a sheep or goat) on behalf of the child, shaving their head, and giving them a name.
