In Islam, the recommended practice (Sunnah) for burying the placenta involves treating it with respect and honour.
Here's a breakdown of the process:
- Purification (Optional): While not considered najis (impure), some may choose to wash the placenta. This is permissible but not obligatory.
- Wrapping: Wrap the placenta in a clean and suitable cloth. This serves as a respectful way to handle it.
- Burial: Bury the wrapped placenta in a clean and appropriate location. This is done to honour the placenta.
In summary, the placenta is treated with respect. It is wrapped in a clean cloth and then buried in a suitable place.
