The ruling on what is obligatory for the father of a stillborn child
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : I tell you, yes. My child, who was about four or three years old, passed away. He was full-term, meaning he was born in the eighth or ninth month, and he was stillborn. We buried him, and indeed we prayed over him and washed him, and so on. I do not know what is obligatory for me regarding the manner of his birth.
The Shaykh : No, as long as you washed him, shrouded him, prayed over him, and buried him in the cemetery, you owe nothing beyond that.
The questioner : Regarding the 'aqiqah.
The Shaykh : Yes, perform it on his behalf.
The questioner : I rely on how the method is?
The Shaykh : Slaughter two sheep, give them in charity, feed people from them, and invite your neighbors and relatives who are alive.
The questioner : I will hold a walimah, and there is a place for it, meaning I will hold a walimah, and there is a place for it.
The Shaykh : I am present.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good, and we have another call with us now.
