Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Another questioner says: What are the things a person does when a child is born to him, and are children a trial in life?
Answer:
When a child is born to him, he praises Allah (Mighty and Majestic) for that, and he hastens to seek a good name for him, naming him with a good name. He slaughters the 'aqiqah (the sacrifice for a newborn) for him: two sheep for a boy, and one sheep for a girl. Then, when he reaches the age of discernment, he raises him in worship and obedience. [The Prophet said:] "Train your children to pray at seven, and beat them for it at ten, and separate them in their beds." So he raises him and disciplines him, and he improves his upbringing and discipline in religion, goodness, manliness, and good morals. This is the obligation of children upon their parents. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
