There are numerous narrations that speak about a miscarried child and how our Prophet (s.a.w.) will boast about his ummah, even a miscarried fetus. Narrations mention the baby will intercede at the door of Heaven for its parents, and so on.

Children who pass away in the womb must be dealt with according to Islamic rules depending on the age of the embryo. If the embryo was less than four months of pregnancy, then there is no Ghusl, nor Kafan, nor Namaz Mayyit, but just to be put in piece of cloth and to be buried. If the age of the embryo is four months or more then it must given ritual washing (Ghusl) then Kafan, then to be buried with out Namaz Mayyit.

These are the rituals , but on the hereafter, children of Muslims will be looked after by Sara, wife of Prophet Ibrahim (AS). They will be invited to enter Paradise, they will reply: I enter Paradise with my parents.

No. Abortion is killing a human being in early formation. Abortion is not permissible at all except in the case of saving the life of the mother if pregnancy can kill her.

No, it is not required. We do not have any authentic evidence from the Prophet (SAWA) and Ahlul Bayt (AS) to suggest such requirement. It is recommended to name our newly born after the names of Ahlul Bayt and names recommended by them with out going through numerology or Ilmul A'dad. Some elders in the subcontinent think it required but it is just a cultural matter not a religious requirement.

In general, Islam prohibits abortion, and this is the primary law, considering abortion unlawful and a form of murder, where blood-money must be paid and a kaffarah.

In brief, there are certain circumstances where abortion becomes allowed. In the case of a rape incident, with the victim falling pregnant, before the fourth month (entering of the soul into the fetus), she is allowed to abort the fetus if there is extreme difficulty upon her to keep the baby. This means her mental state as the mother is unstable, her family and social status will be ruined, and she will not be able to bear the extremely damaging consequences of all of this. In this case, she is permitted to have an abortion. 

As for after the fourth month, there are different opinions on this, and she must refer to her Marja' taqleed for the fatwa. 

And Allah knows best.

Deen means in Arabic (religion). We don't have any of the Prophets or Infallible Imams who called themselves or any of their children in this name. You can add to it then use it like Emad al-Deen, Alauddin, Fakhruddin, Izzuddin, etc. That will make sense otherwise just Deen is not an Islamic name.

Yes she can. There is no condition in Adhan and Iqaamah to be given by the father only or any man. Women including the mother can do it as well.

'Giving the name to the child should not ignore the father's wish.
