Question:
What are the matters a person does when a child is born to him?
Answer:
When a child is born to him, he should thank Allah and praise Him, and ask Allah for the child’s righteousness, and that Allah may cause him to grow up with good growth. It is recommended for him to name the child on the seventh day, and to choose a good, beautiful name. It is also recommended for him to shave the child’s head if it is a boy, and to sacrifice two animals on his behalf. If it is a girl, one animal is sacrificed. This is recommended on the seventh day, and if he names him on the first day, there is nothing wrong with it.
And among what is required of the believer when Allah grants him children: he should be concerned with thanking Allah, and asking Him to make them righteous, and that Allah may cause them to grow up with good growth; because children are a trial. So if Allah causes them to grow up with good growth and rectifies their condition, they become a blessing. Allah the Exalted said: [Surat al-Taghabun: 15]. So they are a test and an examination. If Allah rectifies the child, he becomes a great blessing, whether he is a boy or a girl. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good and do you good.
