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