The Shaykh:
Hmm?

Twins.
The Shaykh:
Yes.

Thank you.
The Shaykh:
Please proceed.
The questioner:
A woman suffering from a serious illness, and the specialist doctor informed her of the harm and the difficulty of her becoming pregnant after the age of forty. Is it permissible for her to take pills that split to carry twins; because her age is now close to forty?
The Shaykh:
Here, if the pregnancy harms her, it is a test of two children, and it is the harm of one child. The question is also the matter of the doctors; one doctor is not enough. A report from a medical committee is required, and it is presented to the Dar al-Ifta. It is a matter of manipulating a report from a medical committee regarding the woman's condition and her state. It is reviewed for the purpose of the fatwa, and, if Allah wills, they will look at it and determine what is most beneficial. Yes.
