What is the ruling on a woman causing a miscarriage in the second month?

Question : The questioner says: A woman was ill, and a misunderstanding occurred between her and her husband. She was pregnant in the second month, or the third month, and she caused the miscarriage of that pregnancy. What is obligatory upon her?

Answer : Nothing is obligatory upon her, because she did not do anything that would be a cause for it to fall. Yes, if she had hit her belly until the child fell, or carried something heavy that caused the child to fall, or drank something that would cause it to fall, or something similar, then she would be the cause, and she would be given the ruling of one who caused the miscarriage of this pregnancy, according to what the state of the pregnancy requires. But as for the mere fact that she became agitated and angry, and the child fell, then there is nothing upon her for that.
