The questioner : What is the ruling on calling the adhan in the newborn’s ear and the iqamah in the other ear? May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : Calling the adhan when a child is born is a recommended practice (sunnah), but the hadith regarding the iqamah is weak, so it is not a recommended practice. However, this adhan is the first thing the newborn hears. As for if the time of birth has passed, it is a recommended practice that has missed its time, so it is not made up.
