Islam encourages Muslims to shave newborn babies as baby has been in the womb for several months that dry blood and dirt might be stucked in the baby's scalp. New hair that grows will bring out the impurities and at the same time give a clean and healthy hair.

Putting shaved hair into a decorated coconut is not an Islamic practice. It is a cultural tradition practice by segment of the community.

Therefore, it is best to grace the ceremony with the recitation of the holy verses of the Quran and the selawat upon the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w.
