What is the ruling on praying over a miscarried fetus?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Regarding the miscarried fetus.
Another student: I mean, the woman miscarries the fetus, the born child. What is the ruling? Do we pray over it? Does it require an 'aqiqah?
The Shaykh : Did it come out alive or dead?
The questioner : Dead.
The Shaykh : No prayer is performed over it, and no 'aqiqah is required for it. This is different if it comes out alive. In that case, it is washed and prayed over, but it is not obligatory. The father must perform the 'aqiqah for it.
The questioner : Even if the seventh day has not been completed.
The Shaykh : You have understood the answer: if it comes out alive, it has its ruling, and if it comes out dead, it has its ruling. There is nothing more to add. Yes, that is correct.
The questioner : What about company shares?
The Shaykh : May Allah protect you from any share.
The questioner : Breaking a bone.
The Shaykh : It has no basis. These are statements attributed to some people, and no religious ruling is built upon them.
