Q
What is the significance of the practice of Tahnik in Islamic tradition?
A
I took `Abdullah bin Abu Talha to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) to perform Tahnik for him. (Tahnik was a custom
among the Muslims that whenever a child was born they used to take it to the Prophet (ﷺ) who would
chew a piece of date and put a part of its juice in the child’s mouth). I saw the Prophet (ﷺ) and he had an
instrument for branding in his hands and was branding the camels of Zakat.
