Abortion by striking the abdomen

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: A woman was pregnant in her sixth month, and she struck her abdomen with a washing machine. He says: The fetus was aborted. Is there anything required of her in this matter?

The Shaykh:
She struck her abdomen.

The questioner:
Yes, he says she struck her abdomen with the washing machine.

The Shaykh:
And she did not strike.

The questioner:
And it was written that she struck her abdomen.

The Shaykh:
She struck it; this is intentional. How old was the fetus?

The questioner:
In the sixth month.

The Shaykh:
Yes, this is intentional killing. The blood money is due from her, which is one-tenth of the mother’s blood money. Yes.

The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh.

The Shaykh:
An expiation is due from her because this was intentional. However, if she did not intend this, then the expiation is due from her: fasting two consecutive months. And the blood money, if she is demanded to pay it, she must also pay it. Yes.
