Question:
May Allah reward you with goodness. The questioner, who signed using the initials A. A., asks: What is the authenticity of performing the Adhan in the newborn’s ear and the Iqamah in the other [ear]? May Allah reward you with goodness.
Answer:
The Adhan at the time of the newborn’s birth is a Sunnah. As for the Iqamah, the narration concerning it is weak, so it is not a Sunnah. However, this Adhan must be the very first thing the newborn hears; if the time of birth has passed, it is a Sunnah whose proper time has elapsed, so it is not to be made up. Yes.
