The Ruling on the Intentional Abortion of a Fetus and Its Expiation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A woman is asking, and she says that she gives birth to children, and when they reach a certain age, they are afflicted with a medical disability that is difficult to treat. She says she feared that if she bore more children, they would be afflicted with the same disease. So whenever she became pregnant now and her pregnancy was confirmed, she aborted it. She has repented. What must she do to make expiation for what came before?
Answer:
If the soul has been breathed into it, but she intentionally destroyed it, intentionally, and the one who does so intentionally must perform the expiation. He repents to Allah the Exalted, repents to Allah, and does not persist in this. Yes.
