Is it Sunnat to make Aqeeqah for an illegitimate child as well?

When a baby is born, should the Athaan and Iqaamah be delayed until a pious Aalim comes or should the father recite it in the baby’s ears?

What must be done when naming a newborn baby? Please explain step by step.

When should the Athaan be recited in the ear of the newborn baby? Is it a must for a man to recite it? What if a man is not available?

For Aqeeqah and naming the child, how is the seventh day determined. Is it 7X24 hours from the time of the birth? If the child was born on Friday at 2 pm, when will be the 7th day?

If the baby was born on Wednesday night, when is the seventh day?

Can the baby be named before the seventh day?

Our baby is being kept in an incubator since birth. We have not been able to bath the baby and shave the hair on the 7th day. If we shave the hair now, we shall still not be able to bath the baby. What should be done?

The baby died after two days. Should Aqeeqah be made?

The custom among my relatives when making Aqeeqah is to ensure that bones of the slaughtered animal are not broken, and that they are buried. The mother of the newborn is not allowed to partake of the Aqeeqah meat. Is this custom correct?
