Is a fetus, aborted at four months of age, considered an intercessor for its parents, and what is the meaning of an intercessor?
The miscarried fetus intercedes for its parents, as the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "By Him in Whose Hand is my soul, the miscarried fetus will drag its mother by its umbilical cord into Paradise if she seeks recompense [from Allah] for it." So, the mother must be patient and seek recompense from Allah, and be content with His decree and destiny. Indeed, all affairs of a believer are good. If adversity befalls him, he is patient, and that is good for him. Every calamity that befalls a Muslim, Allah expiates some of his sins by it.
