Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Dr. Abdur Rahman Freywai
Explanation:
1:
From this hadith, it is understood that the name of a newborn child should be given on the seventh day after birth.
The impurities present at birth should be cleansed, that is, the child's head should be shaved and the child should be given a ritual bath (ghusl), and the 'aqiqah should be performed on the seventh day.
This is preferable.
According to the statement of Aisha (radi Allahu anha), it can also be done on the fourteenth or twenty-first day (Hakim).
