Q: Please be advised that I am a married man, and my wife was pregnant.
In the seventh month of her pregnancy, I had intercourse with her.
(Part No. 21; Page No. 484) Shortly after it, she felt severe pain, so I carried her to the hospital. After examination, the doctors told me that she is in labor. She gave birth to a boy, who died half an hour later. Please advise concerning this situation, and whether I have to offer Kaffarah (expiation). Please clarify the matter. May Allah protect you and support you.
A:
If the situation is as you have mentioned, you do not have to pay Kaffarah, as you are not responsible for the baby's death. Having intercourse with your wife is a permissible thing, and the original ruling is innocence unless proven otherwise.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
