Is a fetus that is expelled in its first month buried in Muslim cemeteries, or in any location?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a fetus is expelled from a woman in its first month, is it buried in Muslim cemeteries, or is it buried in any suitable place?

Answer:
In its first month, with the ruling, this is with the ruling, and not in its second month, nor its third. Rather, this is in the fourth month when the soul is breathed into it; then it takes on the rulings of funerals. As for before four months, it is buried in any place.
