Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This sister, Umm Zaynab, says that her friend was advised by the doctors to stop working and rest because she is pregnant. So she defied these medical orders and miscarried a dead fetus in the fifth month, due to her continuing to go to work.
Answer:
If the doctors advised her to stop working because it affects the fetus, and she defied that and the fetus was lost as a result, then she is at fault. She owes an expiation of fasting two consecutive months, because the child had reached four months, at which point the soul was breathed into it. She is required to pay the expiation because she was negligent in this matter and caused the death of this child. Yes.
