Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the 'aqiqah performed for a child who is born dead?
Answer:
Yes, the 'aqiqah is performed for him. If he is born dead or dies after being born, the 'aqiqah is performed for him. If the soul is breathed into him, the rulings for the living apply to him; therefore, he is washed, shrouded, prayed over, and buried in the Muslim cemeteries, and likewise the 'aqiqah.
