Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: My wife was five months pregnant, and her child fell out while she was in the bathroom. She fainted, and the maid threw the child in the trash, may Allah reward you. I did not know about it because I was traveling. Does this affect us? Is the 'aqiqah obligatory?
Answer:
If you are able to retrieve the child, wash it, and bury it, this is obligatory. If the child is gone and you do not know where it went, you are excused, praise be to Allah. Yes.
