The ruling on writing the name of Allah on the forehead of a newborn and the ruling on the seventh-day celebration

Question:
From Abu al-Walid 'Abd al-Malik ibn 'Ali ibn Hadi al-Muradi, a letter containing a collection of questions. In one of them, he says: We see many people writing the name of Allah on the forehead of the newborn with kohl. Is this permissible? And is it permissible to celebrate the newborn after seven days have passed since his birth? This is what they call: the seventh-day celebration. May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
It is not permissible to write the names of Allah on the child, nor on anyone other than the child, nor on clothing, nor on bedding; in order to honor the name of Allah and show respect for it. As for celebrating the newborn on the seventh day with the 'aqiqah, by preparing a feast for the sake of the 'aqiqah; this is recommended. They prepare the 'aqiqah, and invite whom they wish of their relatives and neighbors, and they eat and feed others. This is a recommended practice. For a male, two sheep are slaughtered, and for a female, one. The seventh day is better. If they slaughter it after that, there is no harm, but the seventh day is better. They eat and feed others, and if they distribute all of it or part of it, there is no harm.

The presenter : May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
