Question:
If the mother has died and the child is alive in the womb, should the child be taken out? If the child has also died, then it cannot be taken out, and the mother will be buried along with the child.
Answer: The funeral prayer will be offered for both together. When one funeral prayer suffices for multiple deceased, it will also suffice for this child, as it is part of the mother’s body.
