Assisting a midwife in abortion
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This is a woman from Belgium who says: I work as a midwife in a hospital, and sometimes a patient comes to me wanting an abortion. Is it permissible for me to assist her in this matter?
Answer:
No, she does not abort except with a medical report. A medical report is required because she needs the abortion. The doctors’ report must state that the abortion is necessary to preserve her life. In that case, there is no harm, provided there is a medical report. It is necessary that three doctors decide on it. Yes.
