He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for a pregnant woman to abort the fetus when she discovers that it is disabled, because she has a disabled son before him?

It is not permissible to abort the fetus except if there is fear for the mother. If there is fear for the mother from its remaining, and the doctors decide that there is danger to her mother, then it is permissible to expel it. But without this, it is not permissible. Yes.
