The ruling on terminating a pregnancy in the second month
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A woman stated that she had terminated her pregnancy in its second month and disposed of it in the toilet. Is there any sin or expiation in her action?
Answer:
If she is the one who terminated it, it is not permissible for her to terminate the pregnancy; she has sinned by doing so and must repent. However, if it fell on its own and was only two months old, it has no ruling, because it had not yet become a lump of flesh; it was still a clot, meaning blood, which has no ruling, whether it was in the toilet or elsewhere, because it is a blood clot.
