Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We have Fahd from Riyadh, please go ahead, Fahd. Peace be upon you, and Allah’s mercy and blessings. And upon you be peace, and Allah’s mercy and blessings. Peace and Allah’s mercy. Honorable Shaykh, my mother, forty years ago, traveled on a mount while pregnant in the East. And she miscarried; she miscarried in Kadab. And after a few days, she gave birth to a child. Is there an expiation on her for what happened to her? Repeat the question, my brother. My mother rode a mount while pregnant in the ninth month. And the mount caused her to miscarry, and after a few days she gave birth. Repeat the question: Was she riding a mount? Yes, she traveled on a donkey, and the donkey caused her to miscarry, and after a few days she gave birth to the child, and he died, and she was almost forced to do so. Okay.

Answer:
If it was. If she miscarried without her choice, and the death of the child resulted from that, then she owes nothing, because she was not negligent, and she is permitted to ride, she is permitted to ride if walking is difficult for her. Yes.
