The ruling on one who gave birth to a deformed daughter and isolated her until she died
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We begin with a letter from (S. M.) from the outskirts of Madinah al-Munawwarah, in which she says: I gave birth to a daughter who had some congenital deformity, and I remained unconscious for three days after the birth. Then I became afraid, and the daughter passed away on the seventh day of her life. I am now regretful because I did not breastfeed her during this period and did not treat her well. She was placed in a room far from me and in the dark, and I am now very regretful.
I hope you will inform me about this matter, and may Allah guide you.
Answer:
This matter contains a difficulty, and I do not know about it right now; it needs, I say: this issue requires reflection in another session—may Allah will it—where we will reflect on it; because this matter currently has a difficulty regarding the ruling, yes.
