I have heard that it is desirable to give charity that is equal to hair weight of a newborn baby in silver..
I want to know, is it just a tradition/culture or its proven by a Hadith?
To shave newborn baby’s hair is Sunnah & I have read in the Hadith too.. but about giving charity that is equal to hair weight? haven’t read it in any Hadith.
Can anyone please quote the Hadith here where it has been written!!

I had the same question in my mind few years ago, I checked in few books and found the hadith, it’s a sunnah. I don’t think I can find you the hadith right now though.
