Should Funeral Prayer Be Offered for a Miscarried Fetus?
Dear scholars, as-salamu `alaykum. A woman miscarried a child. The doctor said it could have been dead for one-and-a-half or two months. This means that the fetus was at least two months when it died. The question is whether Muslim burial rights are fard (obligatory) or mustahab (commendable) for the child in this case? What are the minimum requirements, given that the parents follow the Hanafi School of jurisprudence? Jazakum Allah khayran.
