Our Precious Sprouts: Islamic Regulations for Newborns
Description: As a logical continuation to these three, this sequel or fourth book of the series deals with the normal fruit of marriage: babies. It covers the Islamic regulations relating to a newborn. This includes welcoming the baby, naming it, shaving its hair, circumcising it, and slaughtering the sacrificial aqiqah. The discussion of naming the newborn covers recommended and prohibited names, nicknames, and kuniyahs. It is further enhanced with two appendices that list Allah's authentic excellent names, as well as a large number of suggested Islamic names for both genders. The discussion of aqiqah includes its ruling, animals to be slaughtered, dispensing of the meat, the 'agiqah's feast, and the 'agiqah's wisdom. The discussion of circumcision includes the circumcision process, its ruling for boys and girls, its benefits, and excessiveness and other violations.
