A sheikh says that it is bid‟ah to recite the Athaan and Iqaamah in the newborn baby‟s ears.

Question

A sheikh says that it is bid‟ah to recite the Athaan and Iqaamah in the newborn baby‟s ears. Is it bid‟ah?

Answer

The sheikh is a jaahil. He is ignorant, hence he speaks rubbish. Branding a Sunnah to be bid‟ah testifies for his ignorance. For fourteen centuries this has been the practice of the entire Ummah. Now today comes this stupid so-called „sheikh‟ claiming that Athaan in the baby‟s ear is bid‟ah. He must be an agent of shaitaan.
