Abdur Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera – Islamic Funeral Rites for Miscarriage and Stillbirth

Abdur Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera
AI: Summary ©
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.

Yvonne FACA Sunil Sharma soum Shatner who Hall con for vegtable,

00:00:53 --> 00:00:56

Oracle Arsenal hardly been.

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
