Water birth
Question
Is water-birth permissible if a woman has covered the necessary areas?
Answer
This is not a respectable Muslim way to deliver a child. It must be done with the remembrance of Allah Ta`ala, with gratitude to Him and submission to His obedience.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
