Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: My fetus died at five months, and the doctors said it died before forty days, meaning less than four months. Does it receive the rulings of the funeral prayer or not?
Answer:
Yes, if you are certain or if it is more likely in your opinion that it reached four months, it receives the rulings of the funeral prayer. The doctors' statement is not definitive; it is an estimate from them.
