Hadiths on Rulings of Newborns

This category gathers 11 hadiths relating to the newborn, distributed in four sub-categories: the naming of the newborn (2 hadiths), the sacrifice for the newborn (3 hadiths), providing for children (1 hadith) and raising children (2 hadiths). We learn there that the Prophet named Yusuf himself and seated him on his lap, that the child is slaughtered for on the seventh day, and that two sheep are sacrificed for the boy, one only for the girl. The three direct hadiths concern the prohibition of the partial shaving, the dearest names to Allah and the duty not to disown one's child.
