#547: Ruling on Burying the Dead Mother with her Fetus

QUESTION

IF A DEAD PREGNANT MOTHER IS BURRIED WITHOUT BRINGING OUT THE FETUS, WON’T THAT MEAN THAT THE CHILD WILL BE OPPOSING THE QIBLAH?

” But wont the baby be backing qiblah inside the mother? Salam alaykum”

ANSWER

Alhamdulillāh.

In this case, only the mother is considered and the Child is not considered to have been born.

We have explained that the Ulamā among our Predecessors were very careful about this matter generally and some of them did not agree that the woman be operated to get out the child, that is even if the baby was suspected to be living.

What then do you think would be the case when both of them are considered dead?

Know also that Allāh does not task the Ummah with what is beyond it.

This is not of the matters about which the Ummah would need to go an extent out of worry.

Bārakallāhu fīkum
Jazākumullāhu Khayran.
