The burial procedures for children are the same as those for individuals, except for those who die immediately or are born alive. The process involves three stages, including naming, talking, and holding a coffin. The use of burial techniques and proper dressing are also important. The three different categories of miscarriage are discussed, including death due to a death from a death from a family member, death due to a death from a child, and death due to a death from a child. The importance of giving children a name and not just a shrouding is emphasized.

00:00:59 --> 00:01:04
			So my dear brothers and sisters,
and our dear friends, many times
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:06
			when people lose a child,
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:13
			the question that comes about at
that time of great sorrow and
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:19
			sadness is how do we do the burial
procedures. Now, of course, if
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:24
			they die after having lived and
they were a child or they were an
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:29
			adult, then there is always an
understanding of how that's done,
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:33
			because that's the common way that
we perform the various different
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:38
			rates for the disease. However,
the question that I want to deal
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:42
			with today is where it's a
stillborn baby, or it's a baby
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:45
			that that was born alive and then
died all of a sudden,
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:52
			in within a few minutes or within
a few hours, or a miscarriage, a
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:56
			miscarried embryo, limbs are
formed limbs are not formed. So to
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:59
			understand this, I want to explain
two things First, if you have
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:02
			those in mind, Inshallah, all of
this will be very easy for us to
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:07
			understand. Because the time that
this happens, generally, people
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:11
			deal with it themselves have had
so many fathers and mothers come
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:15
			to me at that time, they've just
lost the child, an embryo
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:19
			miscarriage, and they wondering
how to deal with it, early term,
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:24
			late term embryos. So how do we
deal with this? Very simply put,
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:28
			number one, we're going to put
those into three categories. And
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:33
			depending on the category, the
REITs, will, will be performed
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:36
			accordingly, Jerry, there could be
up to five things that you'd have
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:41
			to do. Number one is the naming.
Number two is the washing. Number
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:44
			three is the shrouding the coffin
in the proper Guffin procedure,
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:49
			the sharp procedure, three pieces
for males and five pieces for
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:53
			females. And thereafter, that is
the salah to Janaza prayer. And
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:56
			then after that, there's the
burial. So those are generally the
		
00:02:56 --> 00:03:00
			five rights that are performed on
individuals, right. If an adult
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:02
			dies, the naming has already been
done. That's why generally the
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:04
			naming you don't have to worry
about you only focus on the other
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:08
			four. But when it's an infant or a
miscarriage, then which of these
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:13
			five will apply. So again, let's
categorize them into three types.
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:18
			The first type in which all five
rights will be performed, those
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:22
			who are born alive, they are born
alive, and then they die. So they
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:26
			were not a stillbirth, they were
actually born, they breathe, they
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:30
			cried, they they made a sound and
then after that they died, whether
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:35
			they died immediately whether they
in a few within a few minutes, in
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:39
			a few hours, in a few days, all of
them will be treated as just a
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:43
			normal human being and all five
rights will be formed here. Thus,
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:47
			you need to give a name right to
that child, you need to goosal
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:51
			base them in number three, you
need to give them a coffin, a
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:56
			proper shroud shouting, right. And
then after that you pray salatu
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:59
			Janaza on them. And then of course
you bury them right in the in the
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:03
			graveyard, you can bury them
wherever you have space to bury
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:03
			them.
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:09
			The second category then, is where
the child is born stillbirth
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:11
			and
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:16
			they don't they're not born alive
at all. So in this case, you only
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:21
			have to perform three out of the
five rights, you don't perform to
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:25
			have the rights. Simply put, you
do not have to make the salata
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:29
			upon them. And you do not need a
proper Guffin for them. Otherwise,
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:34
			you name them, you wash them, and
then you just wrap them in a cloth
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:38
			and then you bury them. So you
don't need a proper coffin. And
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:41
			there is no prayer upon them.
Otherwise you do the naming and
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:45
			everything else. This in the
second category is also the
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:49
			miscarriage where the limbs are
formed. So now the miscarriage
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:53
			there's going to be those which
are limbs are formed and that's
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:57
			between eight to 10 weeks and
above and then less than that. So
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			anything from between one to about
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:04
			777 weeks or so, is going to be
where the limbs are generally not
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:08
			formed. And after the seventh or
the eighth, ninth 10th week is
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:11
			when the limbs are formed. So as
soon as the limbs are formed,
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:14
			they're going to be in the second
category with the stillbirth. And
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:18
			hence in that case, you do exactly
what I explained before, which is
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:21
			that you don't have to pray upon
them and you don't have to give
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:25
			them a proper shrouding. Otherwise
you wash them, you name them, you
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:28
			wash them, and then after that,
you wrap them in a piece of cloth,
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:33
			and then you bury them a
stillbirth or a miscarriage in
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:36
			which the limbs have formed, which
is generally between beyond eight
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:41
			to nine weeks, but you can always
ask the midwives etc, to from your
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:44
			sound scans, ultrasound scans,
you'll be able to know whether
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:48
			limbs are found or not anyway. Now
the third category then is where
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:52
			it's a very early term
miscarriage. And another lot of
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:55
			the time the limbs, I mean, that's
a case where the limbs have not
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:59
			formed. And it fits very early on,
it could just be a clot, whatever
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:02
			the case is, then in that case,
there's obviously no name, there's
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:05
			no muscle, it's just wrapped in a
piece of cloth. Whatever you get,
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:08
			you know, you can ask the hospital
for it, you should, you know, and
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:11
			you ask the hospital for that
embryo, you wrap it up in a piece
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:15
			of cloth, and you just bear it,
there's no naming, there's no
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:18
			whistle. There's no solid upon
that miscarriage as well. So
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:21
			inshallah this should hopefully
make it easy. The first category
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:27
			was the one where it was alive at
birth. And the baby will, in that
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:30
			case, be given a name thereafter
that you'd have to do older
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:35
			procedures, wash, given shrouding
and thereafter the solid and the
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:39
			burial. The second category was
when it was born, not alive. So
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:43
			it's a stillbirth. Or it's a
miscarriage, late term miscarriage
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:47
			after approximately eight 910
weeks where the limbs have formed.
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:50
			So the criteria is that have the
limbs formed. So if the limbs have
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:56
			formed, then in that case, you
have to give them a name. You do,
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:59
			you you, you wash them, and then
after that, you just wrap them in
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:05
			a piece of cloth and you bury
them. And there is no prayer. Now,
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:07
			the third one was where the limbs
have not formed. So it's more
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:11
			early term, but before seven
weeks, and in that case, there is
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:14
			the only things you have to do is
you have to wrap it in a piece of
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:19
			cloth and you bury, there's no
naming, there's no solid and
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:22
			there's no washing either. If this
has happened to you, may Allah
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:25
			subhanaw taala make it easy for
you. It's not easy to lose a child
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:29
			at whatever stage especially for
the mothers and the fathers. So
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:32
			may Allah subhanaw taala bless you
with many other children, many
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:36
			other healthy children and may
Allah make this one that has just
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:38
			passed away a means to
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:43
			our entry into genital for those
inshallah. Well if you don't want
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:45
			to Anil hamdulillah he'll be
dynami
