Getting Head Shaved Off a New Born Baby:
This is a very vital ritual of Muslims that they shave the head of their babies when they are born because the hair when a baby is born not clean although the baby is bathed and all. So after a month or so the hair is shaved of so that new growth appears on the babies head and a clean one too. Some people call barbers to do the ritual or father of the child takes an electric razor and does the custom, after the task is performed then sweets are given to the barber and some money as a token of happiness and appreciation.
