Intercession of the Fetus Before the Breath of Life Is Blown Into It
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Does the fetus before the breath of life is blown into it intercede for its parents?
Answer:
Before the breath of life is blown into it, it is nothing. It is nothing, and therefore it is not washed, not shrouded, and no funeral prayer is offered for it; rather, it is wrapped in a cloth and buried. However, once the breath of life is blown into it, it takes on the ruling of a human being, and this is the one that intercedes.
