Can jinn affect a fetus in its mother's womb by causing miscarriage or deformity?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Allah is the Creator, the Fashioner, and the Disposer of the affair of the fetus in its mother's womb. There is no truth to the existence of what is called "the follower" (at-tabi') that causes miscarriage or fetal deformities, as these are superstitions and myths. Shariah (Islamic incantation) is necessary for prevention and cure.
