Question:
Yes, the third part of this letter says that I was two months pregnant and the child was delivered because of me, so what should I do? And what is the ruling on it?
Answer:
If you did what caused the fetus to fall from your womb, then this is considered accidental killing, and expiation is obligatory for it. Expiation is obligatory, and it is freeing a slave. If you cannot find one, then fasting two consecutive months. As for the blood money for the fetus, it belongs to its 'asabah (residuary male heirs) if they demand it; it is paid to them. If they waive it, there is no harm, but the expiation is necessary. Yes.
