I wrote to the 'Sahib al-Dar' (Master of the House Imam Muhammad ibn Hassan Al-Mahdi (as)) saying: "A child was born to me, and I shaved his head, weighed his hair in dirhams, and gave its equivalent in charity."

كَتَبْتُ إِلَى صَاحِبِ اَلدَّارِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ وُلِدَ لِي مَوْلُودٌ وَ حَلَقْتُ رَأْسَهُ وَ وَزَنْتُ شَعْرَهُ بِالدَّرَاهِمِ وَ تَصَدَّقْتُ بِهِ قَالَ "لاَ يَجُوزُ وَزْنُهُ إِلاَّ بِالذَّهَبِ أَوِ اَلْفِضَّةِ وَ كَذَا جَرَتِ اَلسُّنَّةُ".
