Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : Is it obligatory to pay zakat al-fitr for a fetus that is still in the womb?
Answer : As for the fetus in the womb, if the soul has been breathed into it, then nothing is paid on its behalf, because it is still inanimate. If the soul has been breathed into it and it has reached four months or more, then it is recommended, not obligatory, to pay on its behalf. May Allah reward you.
