Question
My friend says that it is not necessary to recite Iqaamah in the left ear of the newborn child. He says only Athaan is Sunnah. According to him a Saudi Aalim, Shaikh Uthaymeen issued this fatwa. Is the Shaikh correct?
Answer
It is Sunnat and necessary to recite the Iqaamah in the left ear of the baby. Shaikh Uthaymeen was a Salafi. Salafis have their own religion. Simply ignore whatever you hear from Salafis. They do not follow the Path of the Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jama'ah. They are one of the 72 deviant sects predicted by Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam).
