FEMALE INFANTICIDE, which existed amongst the ancient Arabians, was condemned by Muhammada, Vide Qur’an:-
Surah xvi 60: “For when the birth of a daughter is announced to any one of them, dark shadows settle on his face, and he is sad. He hideth himself from the people because of the bad news; shall he keep it with disgrace or bury it in the dust? Are not their judgements wrong.”
Surah xvii 33: “Kill not your children for fear of want; for them and for you will We (God) provide.”
Surah lxxxi 8: “…And when the damsel that had been buried alive shall be asked (at the Day of Judgement) for want crime she was put to death.”
