Question:
When is the funeral prayer performed for a fetus that was born dead from its mother’s womb?
Answer:
If it has reached four months, if it has reached four months, it takes the ruling of funerals: it is washed, shrouded, the funeral prayer is performed over it, and it is buried in the cemetery, because it is a soul, because it is a soul into which the spirit has been breathed. As for if it is before four months, this does not take the rulings of funerals; it is buried without being washed, without being shrouded, it is wrapped in a rag, and it is buried in any place. Yes. It is not yet a soul. Yes.
