The ruling on adhan and iqamah in the ear of a newborn, and the ruling on tahnik and its method
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
What is the ruling on adhan in the ear of a newborn and iqamah?And tahnik: Is it specific to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), and what is its method?
In any case: The hadith regarding iqamah is weak, and the hadith regarding adhan is acceptable.
As for tahnik, if the reason is that the first thing to reach the child's stomach is dates, then it is prescribed for everyone. But if the intention is seeking blessing from the saliva, then it is specific to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).
And since we are now in doubt: Is it in the way of a recommended practice (sunnah) or seeking blessing? We leave it and do not perform tahnik on him, and if we do perform tahnik, there is no harm, given the possibility that it is so.
The questioner: Is the adhan and iqamah in one ear?The Shaykh: The adhan is in the right ear and the iqamah in the left ear, according to the view that it is recommended.
The method of tahnik: A person chews a date, takes it out of his mouth, and puts it in the child's mouth. When the child tastes this, he swallows the food.
