Inheritance of the Fetus in the First Month

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, does a fetus in the first month have a right to inheritance?

Answer:
He says: If its existence in the womb is confirmed at the time of the deceased's death, even if it is only a drop of semen, and this is known by doctors who know when it attached, and the woman also knows it from herself, then if its existence in the womb is confirmed at the time of the deceased's death, even if it is only a drop of semen, it inherits.
