Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on aborting the fetus in the womb of its mother before it reaches four months for the sake of benefit?
Answer:
It is not permissible to abort the fetus except by a decision from the doctors and a fatwa from the Department of Ifta. Both are required: a decision from the doctors of an accredited medical committee, which is presented to the Department of Ifta, and they examine it. Not everyone plays with pregnancy, and not everyone aborts. It is not permissible. Yes.
