The 'Aqeeqah is performed for the miscarried Child also
Question :
Is the 'Aqeeqah required for the three stillborn infants, who are the following:
The first: The woman delivered it after being pregnant for only 3 days less than 4 months.
The second: The woman delivered it after being pregnant for only 3 months and 17 days.
The third: The woman delivered it after being pregnant for only 2 months.
And all of these three stillborn infants were males.
Also, do these three stillborn infants count as my children on the Day of Resurrection, and what will be their ages at the time of the resurrection on the Day of Resurrection?
Answer:
The 'Aqeeqah is Sunnah (supererogatory) on behalf of the miscarried child if its miscarriage occurred after the soul was blown into it. This occurs when the pregnancy of his mother lasts for 4 months. Therefore, based on this, there is no 'Aqeeqah for those whom you have mentioned in your question.
In reference to their ages on the Day that they will be resurrected from their graves, its knowledge is with Allâh. Asking about this is from that which is trivial, and from the goodness of the person's Islam is his leaving that which does not concern him.
