Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Is the child who is born dead, and likewise the child who does not live more than two days, sacrificed for with an 'aqiqah? And is he named?
The Shaykh : If the soul has been breathed into him, which is when he reaches four months, then he is named, an 'aqiqah is sacrificed for him, he is washed, shrouded, prayed over, buried with the Muslims, and he will be resurrected on the Day of Resurrection. And if it is before the soul is breathed into him, meaning before four months, then there is no 'aqiqah for him, he is not named, he is not washed, he is not shrouded, and he is not buried in the graveyards; rather, a hole is dug for him in some place and he is buried. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you. This is a questioner for the program who says.
