May Allah bless you in all expecting mothers
and mothers who recently gave birth, my wife
included.
That's a wonderful experience.
What are some things that you need to
do? The first is the hadith of Abu
Rafi. It says, when
when she gave birth to Hasan the Prophet
and made Adhan in his right ear. The
narration says, in his left ear. And that
should be done not immediately but when you
can do it, when you can do it.
The second is the hadith of Abu Musa
al Ashari who says when he was blessed
with a son, he came to the prophet
of his son and the prophet Samahu
Ibrahim named him Ibrahim
What does that mean? The Prophet took some
dates and rubbed it on his gums, the
gums of the child. Not a lot, just
a little bit.
The third thing, and these things ideally need
to happen on the 7th day, although it's
not far that
they haven't happened on the 7th day. And
there are 3 things you wanna think about
that if possible should happen on the 7th
day. As for the 7th day from the
hadith of Samra, we said that the prophet
said
that every child is, like, held accountable,
for his or her
on the 7th day, something should be slaughtered
for him,
and his hair or hair should be cut
if possible.
And then finally, Usama, given a name. Now
the issue of the name can happen anytime
because other narrations, the one I just mentioned,
Cabernusah,
the day his child was born, the prophetess
named him. There's other narrations that show there's
some dispensation
in this.
So, you know, anywhere between the 1st and
7th day, the name is fine. But these
others, it's encouraged that they happen on the
7th day.
As for the Anapika, we attempted haditha slaughtering
of Abdullah ibn Abbas who said that the
prophet
also
the
same
hadith
he
said,
So you say, Bismillah,
Allah is the greatest, oh, Allah, this is
to you and for you.
And then you say, this is the of
such and such person. And you say their
name. And cutting the hair of the hadith
of Sayedafatimaa Abu Salam said that the prophet
Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said to her, upon the
birth of her son, you should cut his
hair and then pay in charity the weight
of his hair
in
silver.
Now, some parents are concerned about the health
issues that may come of that, so you
should talk to your child's physician.
And if you can't cut all of their
hair off, you can take a piece of
the hair and do the same. It will
be sufficient to sharpen them. And finally from
fitra is circumcision. We know that for boys,
this is recommended must have,
and for girls, it's Magrul.
Since the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, he didn't
do it for Sayda Fatima,
but
he did it for the boys
around him.
