Should hair be cut when a child is born for both boys and girls during the AQEEQAH ceremony?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
What if hair is not cut when child is born? I mean at the time of AQEEQAH.for both boy and girl child

Answer

(Fatwa: 629/629/M=1431)

It is mustahab in aqiqah to shave hair of the baby for whom aqiqah is being performed and to give silver equal to its hair in charity. If someone does not do so i.e. does not shave the hair, then too aqiqah would be performed though it would not be better.
