Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is there an 'aqiqah for a miscarried fetus, or is an 'aqiqah slaughtered on its behalf?
Answer:
Yes, if it reaches four months, it takes the ruling of a newborn: it is washed, shrouded, prayed over, buried in Muslim cemeteries, given a name, and an 'aqiqah is slaughtered for it.
