Question: Should Kafan be given to an infant that passed away? What about a stillborn?
Answer: An infant which passed away immediately after birth will be accorded all rules of Kafan and Dafan (burial) which are applicable to a normal Mayyit. The dead infant will also be given a name.
If the infant is stillborn, that is, it was dead at the time of birth, then the normal procedure of Kafan will not apply. The stillborn will be washed, wrapped in a cloth without observing the Masnoon method, and buried normally. The stillborn will not be named.
