Bathing A Newborn Child
Question
When a baby is born, before giving the Azaan should the baby be given just a normal bath or ghusl. If a ghusl what method should be used?
Answer
A normal Ghusl / bath is meant where the child’s entire body (from head to toe) is washed with water. This will suffice in rendering the child clean.
