Question:
If a pregnant woman dies, will the funeral prayer for the child be performed?
Answer:
It is not correct to perform a separate funeral prayer for the child, because the child was still a part of the mother’s body. The child should be buried along with the mother in the same way. It is not correct to remove the child from the mother’s womb and bury it separately. However, if the child is alive after the mother’s death, then it can be taken out. If the child then dies, a funeral prayer will be performed for it and it will be buried separately.
