\nNarrated Ibn Shihab:\n \n\nThe funeral prayer should be offered for every child even if he were the son of a prostitute as he was \nborn with a true faith of Islam (i.e. to worship none but Allah Alone). If his parents are Muslims, \nparticularly the father, even if his mother were a non-Muslim, and if he after the delivery cries (even \nonce) before his death (i.e. born alive) then the funeral prayer must be offered. And if the child does \nnot cry after his delivery (i.e. born dead) then his funeral prayer should not be offered, and he will be \nconsidered as a miscarriage. Abu Huraira, narrated that the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Every child is born with a \ntrue faith (i.e. to worship none but Allah Alone) but his parents convert him to Judaism or to \nChristianity or to Magainism, as an animal delivers a perfect baby animal. Do you find it mutilated?" \nThen Abu Huraira recited the holy verses: 'The pure Allah's Islamic nature (true faith i.e. to worship \nnone but Allah Alone), with which He has created human beings.' " (30.30).\n

\nحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ يُصَلَّى عَلَى كُلِّ مَوْلُودٍ مُتَوَفًّى وَإِنْ كَانَ لِغَيَّةٍ، مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّهُ وُلِدَ عَلَى فِطْرَةِ الإِسْلاَمِ، يَدَّعِي أَبَوَاهُ الإِسْلاَمَ أَوْ أَبُوهُ خَاصَّةً، وَإِنْ كَانَتْ أُمُّهُ عَلَى غَيْرِ الإِسْلاَمِ، إِذَا اسْتَهَلَّ صَارِخًا صُلِّيَ عَلَيْهِ، وَلاَ يُصَلَّى عَلَى مَنْ لاَ يَسْتَهِلُّ مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّهُ سِقْطٌ، فَإِنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ كَانَ يُحَدِّثُ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ مَا مِنْ مَوْلُودٍ إِلاَّ يُولَدُ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ، فَأَبَوَاهُ يُهَوِّدَانِهِ أَوْ يُنَصِّرَانِهِ أَوْ يُمَجِّسَانِهِ، كَمَا تُنْتَجُ الْبَهِيمَةُ بَهِيمَةً جَمْعَاءَ هَلْ تُحِسُّونَ فِيهَا مِنْ جَدْعَاءَ ‏"‏‏.‏ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه – ‏{‏فِطْرَةَ اللَّهِ الَّتِي فَطَرَ النَّاسَ عَلَيْهَا‏}‏ الآيَةَ‏.‏
