The ruling on terminating a pregnancy out of fear of deformity
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Will Allah not bless you? Will Allah not bless you? If the creation of this fetus is not recorded as a law with mercy, and is recorded at some times,
Answer:
It is not permissible to terminate the pregnancy after it has been formed; it is not permissible to terminate it, even if they have children before it, such as brothers. This does not require rejecting the divine decree, nor does it require terminating the pregnancy, because you do not know; perhaps Allah will rectify it, and perhaps Allah will complete its creation. This is taking an omen as a bad sign. Terminating it is considered taking an omen as a bad sign, and having a bad opinion of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Allah is able to change this newborn and make its creation complete and strong. So have a good opinion of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and do not pay attention to what the doctors say, that this causes deformity, this and that and so on. These are all false claims; do not pay attention to them. Rely on Allah and place your trust in Allah. If something happens that was not intended, every matter is for Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). There is no plastering or anything like that by the command of Allah; it is by the decree of Allah and His divine decree.
