The criterion for a fetus for which expiation and blood money are obligatory
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the criterion for a fetus that is born screaming, crying out from its umbilical cord?
Answer:
That the soul has been breathed into it and it has moved. As for if the fetus falls before the soul is breathed into it, and it is a clot? The soul has not been breathed into it, so there is no expiation for it, and it has no blood money. If it falls as a clot before the soul is breathed into it, there is neither expiation nor blood money for it.
