The ruling on a fetus dropped in the seventh month and the father’s disposal of it

The questioner:
A man’s fetus was dropped in the seventh month, dead, and he denied it.

The Shaykh:
What drops from a woman is what is from a man. Yes, if they said a woman, yes.

The questioner:
The witness, O Shaykh, says that due to the man’s ignorance of the ruling, he placed the fetus in a bag and then threw it away.

The Shaykh:
He says: A woman had a fetus drop from her at such-and-such an age, and what does its father do with it? This is the question, yes.

The questioner:
He says: He placed the fetus in a bag and then threw it in the trash without naming it, and other rulings regarding the newborn.

The Shaykh:
How old is it?

The questioner:
The sixth month.

The Shaykh:
The seventh, yes. We seek refuge in Allah. This is not permissible. The soul was breathed into it, so it takes on the rulings of the dead: it is washed, shrouded, prayed over, and buried in the cemetery in a separate grave, because it has become a corpse like all other corpses. So he erred in this, and a great sin is upon him. Is this disposal not permissible? Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
