Prayer: If a baby is born outside the father’s watan due to the mother’s travel, what is the baby’s watan?

English:

Question #686:

If a mother, to deliver her baby, has to travel for a few days to a maternity hospital located outside the watan of the baby’s father and return after the delivery, where will be the baby’s watan?

Answer #686:

Simply being born in a city is not sufficient to make it its watan. The baby’s watan will be the parents’ watan where it is brought after birth, lives in with its parents and grows up.
