Is it permissible to abort the fetus to preserve the mother's life?

Question : If a woman is carrying a live fetus in which the soul has been breathed, and the doctors tell her that if they abort the child, he will die and you will not die, but if the child remains in your womb, you and he will die, is the fetus to be aborted so that he dies and the mother lives?

Answer : Yes. We do not abort it. First, if we abort it, we have intentionally killed a believing soul. If we leave it and its mother dies because of it, who is it that killed her? Allah the Exalted. Second, if we abort it and kill it, do we guarantee that the mother will be safe? We do not guarantee it; she may even die in childbirth. Now, this rule is very beneficial, this rule. Yes.
