Abstract
This research examined a birth method that has recently spread in a number of countries, namely: (the Lotus Birth). It is the practice of birthing the baby and placenta, and leaving the two attached until the cord falls off on its own. This method of birth has a number of benefits in the interest of the newborn. However, these benefits are not essential, but rather complementary. Moreover, Lotus Birth method was proved to have some disadvantages, which represent a risk to newborn’s health and may lead to the death of the newborn. After investigation and research in Islamic Fiqh ruling on lotus birth; the researcher concluded that the ruling should be based on the consequences of this birth method; if it represents a risk, then it should be forbidden. Otherwise, it is permissible - unless it is accompanied by a pagan belief.
