Carrying a gas cylinder while pregnant, resulting in the death of the fetus
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: I am a woman who was pregnant in my ninth month about twenty years ago. At the end of the ninth month of my pregnancy, I pushed a gas cylinder on the ground. When the gas cylinder reached the door threshold, I lifted it lightly, just pushing it from the threshold, and then continued pushing it and turned it on. I did not feel any pain throughout that day, and I still felt the fetus moving. At Maghrib on the second day, I felt pain and started bleeding. Then I went to the hospital, and they told me that the fetus had died due to the miscarriage. I ask you to inform me, and I thank you in advance, knowing that I did not intend to harm the fetus. This is the end, and peace be upon you?
A: The asking woman must pay the expiation for accidental killing, which is: freeing a believing slave,
if she does not find one, then fasting two consecutive months, based on the saying of Allah the Exalted:[An-Nisa 4:92] to His saying: [An-Nisa 4:92] . The asking woman should hasten to do this in order to clear her conscience.

And never is it for a believer to kill a believer except by mistake
وَمَا كَانَ لِمُؤْمِنٍ أَنْ يَقْتُلَ مُؤْمِنًا إِلا خَطَأًAnd whoever does not find [one or cannot afford to buy one] - then [instead], a fast for two months consecutively, [seeking] acceptance of repentance from Allah. And Allah is ever Knowing and Wise.
فَمَنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ فَصِيَامُ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ تَوْبَةً مِنَ اللَّهِ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ عَلِيمًا حَكِيمًا
