If a miscarried fetus completes its fourth month, it is obligatory to wash it


769

A: If a miscarried fetus completed its fourth month, it would be Wajib (obligatory) to wash, shroud, offer Janazah (Funeral) Prayer, and bury it in the public graveyard like any other dead person. It would be Mustahab (desirable) to give it a name and offer `Aqiqah (sacrifice for a newborn) for it. What this father did of not asking for his miscarried child (Part No. 7; Page No. 243) is a gross mistake especially since it had completed its sixth month. Moreover, it is a blamable negligence. He has to repent to Allah and ask the hospital staff about what happened to his miscarried child at the time to discharge the obligation.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
