Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A woman miscarried in her fourth month, and the fetus was buried, but they did not name it. Is there anything required of her?

Answer:
No, naming is not obligatory. What is obligatory for a fetus that has reached four months is washing it, shrouding it, praying over it, and burying it. That is what is obligatory. As for naming it, it is not obligatory.
