Question:
He says: I am suffering from one of the malignant diseases, and my wife is as well, and we have brought up a son who is also afflicted with this disease. Is it permissible for me to have my wife undergo an abortion before four months have passed?
Answer:
Abortion is not permissible; it is not permissible. This is not permissible. The pregnancy is not to be terminated. And what makes you think that perhaps Allah will cure him and grant him health from this disease? This is in the hand of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). The important point is that abortion is not permissible out of fear of the disease. Yes.
