Is it traditional to give a gift to the child who is having his hair cut? I am not jewish but have been invited to my friend's twins first hair cut and am not sure what is etiquette for the occasion.

[edit] Muslim tradition

I have heard that it is a Muslim tradition to weigh the cuttings of the first haircut, and then donate the equivalent weight in gold to charity. If someone can confirm this and provide details, it should be added to the article. —Psychonaut 09:06, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Slavanic tradition

First hair cut(Postrzyżyny in Polish) was also in Salvanic (at least Polish) tradition. It used to be in first ages of christianity in Piasts' Poland one of Sacraments if I know correctly. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.24.168.158 (talk) 12:20, 16 January 2007 (UTC).
