Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: A woman in her last month of pregnancy gave birth to a dead fetus, and it was a boy. Should it be named and should the 'aqiqah be performed for it? A woman. In her last month of pregnancy, her fetus was delivered dead, and it was a boy. Should it be named? And should the 'aqiqah be performed for it?
Answer:
If it was delivered in the fourth month or after the fourth month, its ruling is the ruling of a funeral, because the soul entered it and it died. It is washed, shrouded, prayed over, and buried in the Muslim cemeteries. The 'aqiqah is performed for it; it is recommended to perform the 'aqiqah for it and to name it. It takes on the rulings of a human being. Yes.
