Question:
He says: He has a newborn who died in the ninth month, and she is in the post-natal bleeding period. He asks: Does he have an 'aqiqah (sacrifice for a newborn)?
Answer:
Yes, it is recommended for him to perform the 'aqiqah, and it is recommended to name the child. It is obligatory to wash the body, shroud it, and pray the funeral prayer over it, and to bury it in the Muslim cemeteries, because it has become a human being into whom the soul was breathed, so it takes the ruling of a funeral. Yes.
