1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from certain persons of his people who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), was asked, ‘If a woman dies with a child moving in her womb, is her belly to be opened to take the child out?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, and her belly is stitched to close.”

Translation: Muhammad Sarwar — attributed by Thaqalayn·The Arabic above is the original.

2. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid from Wahab ibn Wahab who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that ’Amir al-Mu’minin (a.s.), has said, ‘If a woman dies with the child moving in her womb whose life is in danger, her belly is opened and the child is taken out.’ About a woman whose child dies in her womb and her life is in danger, he (the Imam) said, ‘It is permissible for a man to enter his hand inside, cut it (the dead body) to take it out if there is no woman around.”
