A baby died a couple of hours after birth.

Question

A baby died a couple of hours after birth. Is the baby to be given the usual ghusl and kafan etc.? Does Aqeeqah have to be made?

Answer

If the baby is born alive and survives for even a minute, the normal Janaazah service will apply. There is no Aqeeqah if he/she dies before seven days.
