Question:
I do Taqleed of Ayatullah Sistani. As part of Aqiqa is it required to shave the head of a new born child? My parents insist that it is required, but from what I have read it looks like it is a recommended act. What is the reason for this being a recommended act? Doctors say that the womb hair naturally falls off over the course of time. Finally, is Aqiqa (sacrifice of animal) and charity from the sunnah of the Prophet or is there some other reason for it?
Answer:
Aqiqa is recommended always and more recommended on the seventh day after
birth of the child. It is a Sunnah of the Prophet (SAWA) as he did Aqiqa
for Hasan (AS) and Husain (AS) and all children who were born in his family.
Shaving the hair of the child is another recommended act, but not part of
Aqiqa. It is recommended to shave the hair of the child on the seventh day
after birth and weigh it, then give Sadaqa equivalent to the weight of the
hair.
Wassalam.

Question:
can a married women have mutta without taking her husband's permission?
Answer:
It is absolutely forbidden for married woman to have any relation with any
other man but her husband. As it is absolutely forbidden for a married
woman to get married to another man while she is still married to her
husband, Mut'a is also a type of marriage which is absolutely forbidden
while woman is already married.

It is highly recommended to pray on the beginning of the time of Salat
