The answer

If the fetus is miscarried after five months, it should be shrouded, washed, and prayed over. Now, you must pray at the grave of this fetus. As for the absentee prayer (Salat al-Gha'ib), it is prescribed for a deceased person who is absent from the locality and has not been prayed over.
