My wife was exposed to X-rays while pregnant, and it is known that this can cause deformities in the fetus. Should she abort it?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: My wife was exposed to X-rays while pregnant in the first months, and it is known that these rays cause deformities in the fetus. So we informed the doctor, and she said that if a deformity occurs in the first months, it will be aborted spontaneously. And now, Honorable Shaykh, blood has come out. Should my wife take pills to stabilize the pregnancy, or should we let this fetus be aborted? And is it considered killing the children if we let it be aborted?

Answer:
If there is a treatment, she takes the treatment that stabilizes this pregnancy. I mean, if it can be fixed, if there is a treatment for this, then she takes the treatment. And she erred in that she took X-rays while pregnant. She could have informed the doctor, and the doctor does not perform X-rays that harm the pregnancy if she is pregnant; he does not do it except in a case of dire necessity and danger. As for whether she has sinned: if the soul has been breathed into it, then she has sinned and she owes an expiation. But if the soul has not been breathed into it, then she owes no expiation. Yes.
