The question

Is the supplication "O Allah, grant peace to our master Muhammad, complete and perfected," during pregnancy, with the intention for the fetus to be born complete, sound and permissible, or could it be an innovation? And are there specific supplications for the safety of the fetus, the completion of the pregnancy, and its preservation?

The answer

"Specifying a particular formula for sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace be upon him) and adhering to it for the sake of a safe pregnancy, and believing it to be a means of answered prayers, is feared to be an blameworthy innovation (bid'ah), due to the absence of such specific designation in Islamic law. Similarly, no specific supplication for the safety of the fetus has been mentioned in the Sharia."
