Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner: If a fetus dies in its mother's womb before four months, is the funeral prayer performed for it?

Answer:
No, before four months the funeral prayer is not performed for it because the soul has not been breathed into it. It is not prayed over, but it is wrapped in a cloth and buried in the ground. It does not receive the rulings of a funeral prayer. Yes.
