Donating Baby’s Placenta to the Hospital
As Salam Alaikum Wa Rahmatu Allah Wa Barakatuh.Dear scholars,I have heard that when a baby is born, the Placenta needs to be taken away and buried, it can't even be disposed of by the hotpital. Is this true? Why? Or is this more of a custom rather than Sunna or Sharia?We have had two children already and in one of them we consented to donating the Placenta to research as requested by the hospital. Did I do the wrong thing? If so do I need to do anything to correct my mistake?May Allah reward your doing.Salams,ahmad.
