Question

Is there A Sunnah regarding the procedure of naming a baby. Like saying the Aazaan before naming him then saying we have named u so and so?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

There is no sunnah procedure for naming a child.

Refer to #30558 for some guidelines on what to do when a child is born.

And Allah Ta‘ālā Knows Best.
