Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
I say: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the miscarried fetus named and is the 'aqiqah performed for it?
The Shaykh:
Yes, if the miscarried fetus reaches four months, it takes on the rulings of a newborn: it is named, washed, shrouded, and prayed over. And if the 'aqiqah is performed for it,
The questioner:
that is good.
The Shaykh:
Because this is part of completing the rulings for a newborn, so the 'aqiqah is performed for it.
