Aborting the fetus due to the danger of its birth to the mother

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, sometimes some doctors, after examining the fetus, see that its birth poses a great danger to the mother due to the size of its head or other reasons. Is it permissible to abort it in this case?

Answer:
The size of its head; they perform an operation on it and take it out. It is easy; they cut open the abdomen and take it out. They do not need to kill it. They perform a cesarean section operation on the mother and take it out. It is not permissible. It is not permissible to kill it. It is not permissible to kill it as long as the soul has been breathed into it, for it has acquired inviolability. It is not permissible to kill it. Yes. Hmm?
Even if it is deformed, it is left as it is. Its matter is left to Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. That is to say, if we find a lame person or a paralyzed person, do we kill him? We say, "This is deformed." Is it permissible for you to kill a deformed person now? And this fetus, you kill the poor thing? It is all the same: the fetus in the womb and the one outside the womb who is deformed is not killed. Rather, one prays for his healing. That is to say, he is supported with money and assistance. If he is deformed and they want to kill him, there are many people living with deformities. Yes.
