Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Is there a basis in the Sunnah for the adhan in the newborn's ear and the iqamah in the other ear?

Answer:
Yes, yes. It is reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called the adhan in the ears of al-Hasan and al-Husayn and called the iqamah in the other ear, so that the first thing the child hears, or the first thing that enters the child's hearing, is the remembrance of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), and so that Satan is driven away from him. This is a good practice. Yes.
