Supplication for the Newborn
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Shaykh, it is our custom that when a Muslim or a relative of ours is blessed with a newborn, we make the ordinary supplication: "Congratulations, may Allah reward you, and may He make him a righteous servant." Or is there a prescribed supplication?
Answer:
No, there is no specific supplication, but one should ask Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) for his righteousness, and ask Allah to take him under His care with His mercy and kindness. One should supplicate for him with what benefits him in the sight of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes.
