The answer

The miscarried fetus whose formation is evident must be buried. Scholars have unanimously agreed on the preference for burying it in a cemetery, and some have disliked burying it at home. Al-Mawwaq reported from Malik the disapproval of burying a miscarried fetus in a house, explaining that it is not safe from being exhumed with the transfer of properties. The author of "Al-Durr al-Mukhtar" stated that it is not appropriate to bury the deceased in a house, even if it is a child, because this is exclusive to prophets.
