Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Does a miscarried fetus have an 'Aqiqah?
Answer:
Yes, if it is miscarried in the fifth month or later: it is given a name, washed, prayed over, and an 'Aqiqah is sacrificed for it. Yes.
The presenter: If it dies two days after birth, or if a month or more has passed.
The Shaykh: If it is born as a miscarriage in the fifth, sixth, or seventh month, or if it dies one or two days after delivery, it is all the same: it is given a name, washed, prayed over, and an 'Aqiqah is sacrificed for it. Yes.
The presenter: And what is the ruling on delaying the 'Aqiqah past the seventh day?
The Shaykh: There is no blame in that, but the recommended practice is on the seventh day; the recommended practice is on the seventh day. And if the 'Aqiqah is not performed until after that, there is no blame in that.
