وَ سُئِلَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ مَا اَلْعِلَّةُ فِي حَلْقِ رَأْسِ اَلْمَوْلُودِ قَالَ "تَطْهِيرُهُ مِنْ شَعْرِ اَلرَّحِمِ ".
Abu Abdullah عليه السلام was asked about the reason for shaving the head of a newborn. Imam عليه السلام replied: "It is to purify the child from the hair of the womb."
