Having intercourse with his wife while pregnant and her miscarrying as a result


347

Q: A person had sexual intercourse with his wife during her ninth month of pregnancy. Thereupon, she gave birth to a fetus with some injuries that took place due to the sexual intercourse and caused him to die afterwards. Is the father to blame for this?


A: If the reality is as mentioned, you have to pay Diyah (blood money) and offer a Kaffarah (expiation). As for the wife, she does not have to offer a Kaffarah as she was forced to have intercourse.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
