The 'Aqiqah for a Child Born Dead
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Allah granted me a child, and in the ninth month he came out of his mother's womb dead. Does he have an 'aqiqah or not?
Answer:
Yes, the 'aqiqah is performed for him on the seventh day, because the hadith is general. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that the 'aqiqah be performed for the child and did not specify conditions or stipulations, nor did he say "if he is found alive." This is the Sunnah, and this is for the people whose intercession is hoped for, and whose good is much on the Day of Resurrection. So the Sunnah is to perform the 'aqiqah for him if it is a male, and for the female as well. Yes.
