Reward for a woman miscarrying

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: A woman miscarried between 6 – 8 weeks of pregnancy. According to the hadeeth when a woman miscarries the foetus will pull mother into jannat by its umbilical cord. Is this restricted to certain age of foetus? People are telling her this does not apply to her because a foetus has no rooh at this stage! Could mufti saheb please give clarity on this?

Bismillaah

A: The hadeeth is general. We hope in the mercy of Allah Ta`ala that He will grant her this virtue Insha-Allah.

وذكر العلقمي في حديث سموا أسقاطكم فإنهم فرطكم الحديث فقال فائدة سأل بعضهم هل يكون السقط شافعا ومتى يكون شافعا هل هو من مصيره علقة أم من ظهور الحمل أم بعد مضي أربعة أشهر أم من نفخ الروح والجواب أن العبرة إنما هو بظهور خلقه وعدم ظهوره كما حرره شيخنا زكريا (رد المحتار 2/228)
