Advice for the woman during childbirth

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

Your Eminence! What is your advice for a woman during childbirth, and what should she recite from the Qur'an?
I do not see any specific advice to give to a woman who is in labor other than to attach her heart to Allah (Mighty and Majestic), seek refuge in Him, and ask Him to ease her delivery, especially if the labor becomes severe. As for reciting something specific, there is no need for that. However, in the case of difficult labor, a person may write in a vessel the verses that indicate the easing of things, such as

⁽¹⁾ When the earth is shaken with its [final] earthquake ⁽²⁾ And the earth discharges its burdens

إِذَا زُلْزِلَتِ الْأَرْضُ زِلْزَالَهَا * وَأَخْرَجَتِ الْأَرْضُ أَثْقَالَهَا

[Surat al-Zalzalah: 1-2].

And like His saying the Exalted:

Allah knows what every female carries and what the wombs lose [prematurely] or exceed

اللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا تَحْمِلُ كُلُّ أُنْثَى وَمَا تَغِيضُ الْأَرْحَامُ وَمَا تَزْدَادُ

[Surat al-Ra'd: 8] and such as His saying:

And fruits emerge not from their coverings nor does a female conceive or give birth except with His knowledge.

وَمَا تَخْرُجُ مِنْ ثَمَرَاتٍ مِنْ أَكْمَامِهَا وَمَا تَحْمِلُ مِنْ أُنْثَى وَلا تَضَعُ إِلَّا بِعِلْمِهِ

[Surat Fussilat: 47] and the like. She is to be given this to drink, and the lower part of her abdomen is to be wiped with it; this facilitates the delivery.
