Question:
The Shaykh’s position regarding abortion: What are the rulings that apply to the doctor, as well as the rulings that apply to the consenting woman, and also to her consenting guardians?
Answer:
The one who directly performs the act is liable. The one who causes it is not liable if the direct actor is present. The doctor is liable because he is the direct actor. The woman is the one who caused it, or the woman’s husband is the one who caused it. But the direct actor is the one who is liable, and that is the doctor. Yes.
