Mummifying dead fetus and washing up over it to have children


1549

Q 2: Some women observe the following grievous action: if a woman has a stillbirth, another barren woman comes and takes this dead baby and perfumes it and performs Ghusl over the corpse, for the sake of fertility. Does such an act lead to Kufr (disbelief)? What is your advice and Fatwa concerning this abominable act, which is widely spread among barren women?


A: This act is not permissible, for it is superstitious and a corrupt belief that should be discarded and forbidden.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
