Question
What is the Shariah status of calling adhan in the ear of a newborn?
In which ear will Azan be given and in which ear will Iqamah be given?
Will Iqamah be given in the right ear of the girl and Adhan in the left ear or is the order of the boy and the girl the same?
answer
1. It is Sunnah to give the call to prayer in the ear of a person, this practice is confirmed by the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and there are blessed hadiths about this verbally and physically. In the tradition of Tirmidhi Sharif:
“Hazrat Ubaidullah bin Abi Rafi’ narrated from his father that I saw the Messenger of Allah, may God bless him and grant him peace, give the call to prayer in the ear of Hasan bin Ali at the time of his birth, as the call to prayer is given in prayer.”
Allama Qutbuddin Khan Dehlavi, may Allah have mercy on him, writes in Mazahir Haq Sharh Mishkaat al-Masabih:
“From this hadith, it is known that it is Sunnah to call adhan in the child’s ear after birth. In the Musnad of Abu Ali Mosuli, Hazrat Hussain Radiyallahu Taalaala Anhu narrated in a good way (ie the finger of Hazrat Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) that “He who gives birth to a child, who gives the Adhan in his right ear and Takbeer in his left ear. “If he says, he will not be harmed by “Umm al-Sabiyan” (pain).
2. It is Sunnah to say Adhan in the right ear and Iqamah in the left ear of a newborn. And the method of this is to hold the child in his hands and stand facing the Qibla, say the Adhan in the right ear and Iqamah in the left ear, and, as usual, turn to the right when he says “Hai Ali al-Salaat”. and to the left when saying “Hai Ali Al Falah”.
According to Sharh al-Sunnah:
“It was narrated that Omar bin Abdul Aziz used to pray on the right and perform iqama on the left when a child was born (11/273).
3. A boy and a girl are equal in this order. In other words, the order for both is to say Adhan in the right ear and Iqamah in the left. Only God knows
