Yes, several authentic hadith describe the seventh day after birth as the recommended time to combine three practices: announcing the child’s formal name, shaving their head, and performing the Aqiqah sacrifice (Sunan Abi Dawood, Sunan an-Nasa’i, and others). This is considered the most complete and well-documented way to follow the Sunnah, though scholars agree it isn’t strictly obligatory to perform all three on exactly the seventh day — if circumstances require, they can be done on a later date, or even the 14th or 21st day according to some scholarly opinions, while still fulfilling the spirit of the Sunnah.
