The answer

There are no funerary rites required for a miscarriage that occurs in the first month of pregnancy, because at that stage, the form of a human being is not yet discernible. It is recommended to bury it in a respectable place. However, washing, shrouding, and burial are not obligatory, as the rulings for the deceased apply to one who was alive or in whom life was expected. The criterion is the appearance or non-appearance of human form.
