The questioner : Your Eminence, what is your advice for a woman during labor, and what should she recite from the Qur'an?
The Shaykh : By Allah, I do not see any advice we can give to a woman who is in labor other than that she should 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, I do not know that she is to recite anything specific. However, in the case of difficult labor, a person may write in a vessel the verses that indicate the easing of things, such as[Az-Zalzalah 99:1-2], and such as His saying, the Exalted: [Ar-Ra'd 13:8], and such as His saying, the Exalted: [Fussilat 41:47], and the like. She should be given this to drink, and the lower part of her abdomen should be wiped with it. This facilitates the delivery. Yes.
