When and how should Athaan and Iqaamat be recited in the ears of the newborn child?

Answer

The Athaan should be recited in the right ear without raising the voice, and the Iqaamat in the left ear. The reciter should turn his face right and left as the Muath-thin does when reciting Hayya alas Salaah…..
