The Ruling on the Slaughter of the Fetus

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Yes, is its slaughter the same as its mother's? Did you verify this hadith?

The Shaykh :
Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: The slaughter of embryo is included when its mother is slaughtered.ذكاة الجنين ذكاة أمه
Sunan Abi Dawud 2828Sahih (Al-Albani)
It is an authentic hadith.

The questioner : Yes, so if we kill the mother, if we slaughter the mother, is the fetus eaten?

The Shaykh : Yes, but this is only if it is not alive.

The questioner : Yes, if it died, meaning in its mother's womb.

The Shaykh : If it died, or if the soul had not yet been breathed into it.
