1476. Abū Sa'eed narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Slaughtering the fetus is (achieved by) the slaughtering of its mother." (Saḥīḥ)
[He said:] There are narrations on this topic from Jābir, Abū Umāmah, Abū Ad-Dardā', and Abū Hurairah. [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan [Saḥīḥ].
It has been reported from Abū Sa'eed through routes other than this one. And this is acted upon according to the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ and others. It is the view of Sufyān Ath-Thawrī, Ibn Al-Mubārak, Ash-Shāfi'ī, Aḥmad, and Ishāq. Abū Al-Waddāk's (a narrator in the chain) name is Jabr bin Nawf.

Commentary
'Al-Janīn' means fetus or embryo, here in this narration it means a baby that is still in the mother's womb. With the exception of Imām Abū Hanīfah, all other A'immah, Companions of the Prophet ﷺ followers of the Companions, and almost all the scholars agree and support this view; that if a pregnant animal is slaughtered, there is no need to slaughter the baby animal separately, it will be considered slaughtered with the mother. Imām Abū
Yūsuf and Imām Muḥammad also support this of view, with the condition the fetus is completely formed. (See for details (Tuhfat Al-Aḥwadhi v. 2. p.344-345.)
