Question
My son was born after a miscarriage in the 18th week of pregnancy. Does he need to observe the Fast of the Firstborn? And this year, on which day should it be done, Thursday or Friday?
Answer
Hello,
It is necessary to fast, or be exempted by participating in a mitzvah meal.
The main time for the fast or completion is on Thursday. Some are stringent and also observe it on Friday.
