The 'Aqiqah for a Fetus That Is Born Dead
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, he says: Is the 'aqiqah performed for a fetus that is born dead?
Answer:
It is better if the soul has reached the stage of being formed, meaning it has passed four months; if it was carried for four months and then miscarried after the four months, it is given its rulings: it is washed, shrouded, and prayed over, and it is brought with the Muslims, and it is treated with leniency. This is from the category of what is recommended; in reality, it is from the category of what is recommended.
