Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. A woman is asking, and she says: The fetus died in her womb, and it was two months old, and the doctors decided to remove it.
Answer:
It was two months old. Only the one who is four months old dies, the one in whom the soul was breathed. That is the one who dies. As for the one less than four months, the soul was not breathed into him, so it is not said that he died.
