Assalaamu alaikum wa rahmatullah
A new born child dies immediately after being born, i.e. he takes a few breaths. Is there a funeral prayer for him? As some say that the adhaan was not pronounced hence there is no funeral prayer, is there any truth in this? Appreciate if anyone can clarify. JazzakAllahu khairan.

First of all may Allaah strengthen the mother and father and cause their child to be a means of intercession for them yawmul Qiyaamah!
Then what is known is that the narration of calling the adhaan in the ear of the newborn is weak anyway so is not to be acted upon. The child was a living human with a soul inside it so the Janaazah is to be prayed and Allaah knows best.
here are a few fataawah taken from www.fatwaonline.com
Knowing what is in the womb
*Please appropriately reference this fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Question: In the December 1975 edition of "al-'Arabee" number 205, page 15, it is alleged under the question and answer column that it is man who decides the gender of the fetus. Is there anyone other than Allaah who knows the unseen? What is the Islaamic ruling on this issue?
Response: First of all, it is Allaah alone Who fashions the fetus in the womb the way He wishes. He either makes it female or male, perfect or deformed, and so on. No one else other than Allaah can do that. He says:
{It is He Who fashions you in the wombs as He wills. There is no true God except He, the Almighty, the All-Wise}, [Soorah Aal-'Imraan, Aayah 6]
And He says:
{To Allaah belongs dominion of the heavens and the earth. He creates what He wills. He gives females to whoever He wills and males to whoever He wills. Or He gives them twins of males and females, and makes whoever He wills barren. He is the All-Knower, All-Powerful}, [Soorah ash-Shooraa, Aayaat 49-50]
Allaah the Exalted, is the only Proprietor of the heaven and the earth. It is up to Him to create whatever He wills, and fashions the fetus in the womb as he likes, be it male or female, perfect or deformed, beautiful or ugly, or any other fetal conditions. He is alone, not a partner nor anyone else, Who does so.
A claim that a husband, a doctor, or a philosopher can decide the sex of the fetus is groundless. All the husband can do is to wait for his wife's fertility period to have intercourse with her, for the hope of pregnancy. He may have what he wants fulfilled by the Decree of Allaah. Pregnancy may not take place for one reason or another, or due to a blockage in the fallopian tubes or inferility. Or it may be that Allaah wants to test the endurance of his servants.
This means that material means themselves have no effect on the case; rather, they work by the Will of Allaah.
Fertilisation is a thing belonging to the universal Will of Allaah, and the human can only do the action with the Will of Allaah.
As for the disposal of the affairs, the formation, and the arranging of the causes, all are restricted to Allaah alone. He who contemplates the conditions of people, their claims and lies out of ignorance and excessive estimation of modern sciences, surely exceeds the limits of trusting the material means. He who evaluates the matters properly will be able to distinguish between what is restricted to Allaah alone, and those which Allaah allowed the servant to do through His Decree.
And with Allaah lies all success and may Allaah send prayers and salutations upon our Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) and his family and his companions.

Seeking abortion due to inability to look after additional children
*Please appropriately reference this fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Question: There is a woman who has been unable to conceive; the doctors carried out some tests and discovered the eggs (in the womb) are dead. So they carried out an operation to implant (more) eggs, and now she is pregnant with four (babies). When the doctors discovered this, they informed her husband. He said that he does not want four, because his wife may become tired and overcome (by the pressure). So he said remove two and leave (the other) two. The doctors said they will not do that without a fatwa from the noble Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-?Uthaymeen; Keeping in mind that the duration of the pregnancy is three months, is it permissible for the doctors to carry out this operation, since they have put on hold (the operation) until they receive your verdict? (And) may Allaah reward you with good.
Response: Regarding the implanting of the eggs, we shall not discuss it because this (stage) has now passed. As for removing some of that which she is carrying in her womb, and whilst she has apprehensions (in proceeding with all four), then so long as the pregnancy has not passed four months there is no harm in this. However, if the period of four months has passed, then it is not permissible to abort under any circumstances.
Shaykh Ibn ?Uthaymeen
Silsilah Kitaab ad-Da'wah (12), al-Fataawa - Volume 3, Page 126-127
Maybe someone can post an exact fatwah to do with this?

bismillah arrahmaan arraheem
wa alaikum assalaamu wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuh.
Sheikh Bin Baaz gave a fatwa that any fetus in which the soul has been blown (i.e. from 120 days after conception on), even a misscarriage or a stillbirth, should be given ghusl, prayed upon, named and have a 'Aqeeqah performed for him, based on the generality of the evidences about these issues. This fatwaa can be found in his collection of fataawaa, vol. 18, pg. 48
