The Adhan and Iqamah in the Ears of the Newborn
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that when a child is born, the adhan is called in his right ear and the iqamah for prayer is called in his left ear, and likewise when the child is named on the seventh day, and may Allah reward you with good?
Answer:
There is a hadith regarding this in which there is some weakness in its chain, and the practice of the Muslims is to call the adhan in the right ear and the iqamah in the left ear, whether on the day of birth or on the seventh day. If it is left, there is no harm. If one calls the adhan and iqamah, there is no harm, and if one leaves it, there is no harm. The matter is broad in this regard. Yes.
