The answer

The is to remove the newborn's hair on the seventh day and to give in charity its weight in silver. The command to remove harm is general, so the hair can be removed by any method, whether with a razor, a shaver, or anything else that removes all the hair. The best option is to choose what is gentlest and easiest for the newborn.
