The Ruling on Aborting the Fetus
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Nasser says: Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings. My question is: Is it permissible to abort the fetus while it is in its second week? Knowing that it has not yet been given life, and this is due to family circumstances. May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
It is not permissible to abort the fetus except for a legitimate Shari'ah reason, such as when doctors determine that it must be aborted because it is harming the woman. This report should be presented to the Permanent Committee for Scholarly Research and Ifta if in the Kingdom, or to the muftis in his country. Yes.
