Question
Q. A relative of mine had a miscarriage. She was 4 months pregnant and the baby was developed. Baby was removed by a D&C procedure. What is the procedure for the remains of the foetus ? Is it to be buried?
Answer
The foetus should be wrapped in a clean cloth and buried. There is no Ghusl or Janazah for a foetus or a stillborn. (al-Fatawa al-Hindiyyah, Vol: 1, Pg: 159)
