Naming and the 'Aqiqah for a Miscarried Fetus

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I say: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is a miscarried fetus named and does one perform the 'aqiqah for it?

Answer:
Yes, if the fetus reaches four months, it takes on the rulings of a newborn. It is named, washed, shrouded, and prayed over. If one performs the 'aqiqah for it, that is good, because this is part of completing the rulings for a newborn.
