Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the adhan in the ear of the newborn when he is born a confirmed sunnah (recommended practice)?

Answer:
Yes, it is reported from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) that he called the adhan in the ears of al-Hasan and al-Husayn and called the iqamah, so that the first thing the newborn hears is the remembrance of Allah (Mighty and Majestic).
