Azan For New Born Baby, By Peer Syed Mohyuddin Mahboob

Question: When a new born baby is born, which adhan is given? I.e, the Adhan for zuhr-isha, or the Fajr Adhan. Someone told me it should be Fajr adhan, however he couldnt recall where he read it?ç

Answer:Hazrat Abu Raafe (Radhiallalhu Ta'ala Anhu) recounts an act of thebeloved Holy Prophet's (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam), and describes thus;

"I witnessed the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) reciting the Azan (Call to prayer) to HazratSyedina Imam Hasan ibn Ali (Radhiallalhu Ta'ala Anhu) when his Beloved daughterSyeda Fatima tu Zahrah (Radhiallalhu Ta'ala Anha) gave birth to him." (Tirmidhi, Musnad Ahmad)

The Adhaan should be given in the right ear of the new born and Iqaamat in the left ear. (Shaami vol.1 pg.385;)
