Q&A (Fatwa)
#542: If it is established that Both Pregnant Mother and Fetus have Died, should the Mother be buried without Operating The Baby?
QUESTION
” Assalam alaikum?concerning birth mortality.if both mother n baby died,should d woman stil be operated n bring out d baby or burry her lik dat.”
ANSWER
Wa alaykum Salām Warahmatullāh Wabarakātuh.
Alhamdulillāh.
In this case, there is no reason to carry out a surgery to take out the baby. This is because the essence of the surgery would have been to save the living baby not in order to bury it differently.
And Allāh knows best.
