Dozens of babies aged between one week and three months have already been killed by suffocation or lethal injection, according to Iraqi activist group Mosul Eye.
The fatwa was reportedly issued by one of so-called Islamic State’s sharia judges.
A statement from the group said: “Through monitoring and following the death incidents of children with Down's syndrome and congenital deformities, we were able to learn that the Shar'i Board of ISIL issued an 'oral fatwa' to its members authorizing them to 'kill newborn babies with Down's syndrome and congenital deformities and disabled children'.
“As if it is not enough for ISIL to kill men, women and the elderly, now they kill children.”
Mosul Eye said more than 38 babies have already been killed in IS strongholds in Syria and northern Iraq.
Most of the children were born to foreign fighters who married Iraqi or Syrian women, it claimed.

I'm not making claims as to its veracity, just making a parallel to what has been said.
On March 15, 1991, shortly after Kuwait was liberated, John Martin, an ABC reporter, reported that "patients, including premature babies, did die, when many of Kuwait's nurses and doctors stopped working or fled the country" and discovered that Iraqi troops "almost certainly had not stolen hospital incubators and left hundreds of Kuwaiti babies to die
