Birth

Q: I would like to know the status of making a digital announcement poster upon the birth of a child.

Nowadays, people make a digital poster that they either put on their status or send to people announcing the birth of a child (no photograph of the child). Some go to the extent of putting the child's weight and height.

Personally, this is not something I am in support of however with extended family, there seems to be no control with regards to things like this.

Is it acceptable to allow this to happen or should the extended family be told not to do it?

Q: When is the Sunnah time to do circumcision? How many days after birth should it be done?

Q: When a baby is born, and the azaan needs to be given, I have read in Kitabs that the baby needs to be bathed then azaan must be given. Is this a general bath to wash off the impurities or must you give the baby a ghusl bath?

Q: My wife is expecting to deliver our baby in a few weeks through caesarean. However, due to covid restrictions, the hospital is not allowing any visitors to bring children so I am unable to leave my young kids with anyone. My question is, can I give azaan and iqaamah to the newborn after the baby comes home after 3 days or is it necessary to give it soon after birth? If I can’t manage to visit then can I give it over the phone through video call?

Also, do I need to feed the new born with dates and honey? Just to lick it?

Can you please let me know what all I need to do Islamically for my new born baby?

Q: I would like to know what is the ruling on this particular case:

1. When a pregnant woman's water has broken and she has a bloody show, is salaah that she did not make yet now need to be made up?

2. Women were also advising another pregnant woman that until the baby's head has partly come out, she must make salaah that is due at that time as well as if dilation has been checked she must make ghusl (if she needs to make salaah) as the nurse/doctor has put their fingers inside. What is the correct view?
