وَ سَأَلَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ أَخَاهُ مُوسَى بْنَ جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ مَوْلُودٍ لَمْ يُحْلَقْ رَأْسُهُ يَوْمَ اَلسَّابِعِ فَقَالَ "إِذَا مَضَى سَبْعَةُ أَيَّامٍ فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ حَلْقٌ".
Ali ibn Ja'far asked his brother Imam Musa ibn Jafar Al-Kadhim عليه السلام about a newborn whose head was not shaved on the seventh day. Imam عليه السلام replied: "If seven days have passed, then shaving the head is no longer required."
