The ruling on aborting a fetus if it is known to be deformed

Question:
The questioner, Amina, says: Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling in the Shari'ah, in your view, regarding the abortion of a fetus if it is known to be deformed? And what is the evidence for that? May Allah reward you.

Answer:
Abortion is not permissible except in one case: if the child's survival poses a danger to the mother's life. If its survival poses a danger to the mother's life, then it is aborted in order to preserve her life. And abortion is not carried out except by an official fatwa from the Dar al-Ifta (Department of Fatwa) based on a reliable medical report stating that the continuation of this pregnancy in the pregnant woman is a danger to her life.
The matter is not easy. It means getting rid of the fetuses. As for the deformed child, he is left to his Lord, Glorified and Exalted is He. As long as there is no danger to the mother, the fetus is left. If he is delivered alive and lives, praise be to Allah. And if he dies or remains deformed, praise be to Allah likewise. Yes.
