The ruling on the 'aqiqah for a fetus that dies in the womb
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
My son died in the eighth month in his mother's womb, and I did not slaughter an 'aqiqah for him. Does he have an 'aqiqah? And if I did not slaughter it, will he be an intercessor for his parents?
Answer:
Yes, the 'aqiqah is prescribed due to the generality of the hadith. Even if he was dead, as long as he reached four months and the soul was breathed into him, he takes on the rulings of a newborn. He has an 'aqiqah, he is given a name, and reward is obtained for that. Yes.
