Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to abort the fetus before it reaches forty days, especially since the mother has an infant who is four months old?
Answer:
If the doctors determine that its presence poses a danger to the mother’s life, then it is permissible to abort it to avert the danger. However, if it is due to a dislike of pregnancy or to limit the number of children, or the like, it is not permissible.
