A dhimmi woman who dies when she is pregnant with a Muslim child
Dear Brothers & Sisters,As-Salaamu-Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)
One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:
If a dhimmi woman [a Jewish or Christian woman who is living under Islamic rule; from the context it would appear to refer to a Jewish or Christian wife of a Muslim – Translator] dies when she is pregnant with a Muslim child, where should she be buried?

Answer:
Praise be to Allaah.
The most correct view is that she should be buried between the graveyards of the Muslims and the kuffaar. It was also said that she should be buried on the way to the Muslim graveyard, or with her co-religionists, so that they can take care of washing her and burying her in their graveyard. Wherever she is buried, her back should be towards the Qiblah, because the face of the foetus faces the mother’s back.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah's Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.
