Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a woman asking me. She says her sister is well-off, and her doctor ordered her to stop working and rest because her pregnancy was in a dangerous stage during the first months. So she went to work, and the fetus was lost.
Answer:
She was wrong to do that. If the doctor forbade her from going to work, she has to take leave from work, and she has the right to do so based on the doctor’s report. If she defied that and her going to work resulted in the loss of the pregnancy, and it had reached four months, then she owes an expiation of fasting two consecutive months. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
