Fetal Death Before Birth

Question
I had a miscarriage in the eighth month, should the fetus be washed and a funeral prayer be performed for it?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: If the fetus is born alive, it is to be prayed upon; otherwise, it is not to be prayed upon. You have the choice regarding washing or not, and God knows best.
