Reward for patience when miscarrying a foetus who had a soul
Question: 5226
Does the hadeeth “Whoever loses
three children who had not reached the age of puberty…” include miscarried
foetuses into whom the soul had already been breathed?
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
We put this question to Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih
al-‘Uthaymeen, may Allaah preserve him, who answered as follows:
Yes, they are included, but they are not like children who have been
born and to whom one has developed an attachment.
Question: but will a person get the same reward?
Answer: yes, we hope so.
And Allaah knows best.
