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.
