Is a fetus, aborted at four months of age, considered an intercessor for its parents, and what is the meaning of an intercessor?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
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.
