Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A woman asks about a woman who is in her first month of pregnancy, is forty years old, has weak blood, and suffers from back pain, such that the pregnancy harms her. Is it permissible for her to terminate the pregnancy?
Answer:
It is not permissible for her to terminate the pregnancy once the soul has been breathed into it at four months. It is not permissible to terminate it except if trustworthy doctors determine that keeping it poses a danger to her life, meaning if it remains, there is a fear that she will die. In that case, it is permissible to abort it. However, as long as there is no danger to her, it is not permissible to terminate it. Yes.
