DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm Arba'a, 18th day of Rabeeul Awwal 1447AH, Wednesday, 10th September, 2025.
*_ISLAMIC BABY NAMING CEREMONY_*. BismilLah.
In all communities around the world the birth of a child is considered a blessing and ceremonies are held to celebrate this event. Besides being a natural expression of joy, it also serves a special purpose, that is, making it known in a suitable and dignified manner, that the father has accepted the child as his own and that there is no doubt or suspicion concerning this matter. It shuts the door to any mischief that could arise in the future. It is a confirmed sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam to slaughter on the 7th day or 14th, 21st etc if the father can afford.
There is no particular ceremony in Islam where people gather to celebrate the naming of the newborn child.
If by celebrating we mean inviting a group of Muslims or relatives to gather on the day when you perform the Aqeeqah(The sacrificing, the naming, the shaving of hair etc) on behalf of the newborn, then in principle all invitations are lawful.
Now, if the person inviting the people does that with the intention of being grateful to ALLAH Azzawajal and feeding his/her relatives, then this is permissible, ALLAH willing, and he/she will be rewarded for it.
*_May ALLAH Azzawajal bless our marriages and grant us pious wives and husbands with pious offspring_*. Aameen.
