When should the Athaan and Iqaamah be recited in the new-born baby's ears?

Question

When should the Athaan and Iqaamah be recited in the new-born baby's ears? What if the father or a mahram male is not available?

Answer

Athaan in the baby's ears should be as soon as the baby has been bathed. If there is no male present, the mother herself should recite the Athaan and Iqaamah in the baby's ears.
