Question
Is there any Sunnah feasting on the seventh day when the baby is named by the Imaam? Does the ceremony have to be in a Musjid?
Answer
There is no naming ceremony for the child. Neither should such a bid'ah ceremony be in the Musjid nor at one's home. It is bid'ah to have a gathering of people. There is no need for an Imaam. Simply begin calling the child by a name on the seventh day.
