The ruling on aborting the fetus before two months
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for a pregnant woman to abort her fetus if it is less than two months old without a reason?
Answer:
It is not permissible to abort the fetus, it is not permissible under any circumstances, except if there is fear for her mother. If the doctors determine that if she carries it to term, her mother will die, then this is permissible, provided that the soul has not been breathed into it. As for if the soul has been breathed into it, it is not permissible; [it is] killing oneself. It is permissible to kill the self, but if it is before the soul is breathed into it and its remaining is a danger to the life of its mother, as determined by the doctors, then here it is permissible to abort it.
