A feast for the emergence of the first tooth of a newborn
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Allah has blessed me with a child a few months ago, and when his first tooth came in, I held a feast for some of my very close relatives to celebrate and rejoice in it. Is there any religious objection to what I did?
Answer:
This has no basis. There is no basis for holding a feast for the tooth. The feast (walimah) is prepared for the 'aqiqah sacrifice for the child himself, not for his tooth, but for his birth. That is the sunnah (recommended practice). As for holding a feast for the emergence of his tooth, this has no basis.
