Question:
The sister Umm Muram says: Shaykh Salih, she is in her third month of pregnancy, and she has severe bleeding and anemia. The doctor decided to abort the fetus for her because of the danger the bleeding poses to her health. Should she follow the decision of the doctor and the doctors in this matter, or not?
Answer:
A pregnancy is not aborted after it has been established in the womb unless a group of trusted doctors determines that abortion is a dire necessity. Their report is sent to the Ifta' Authority, where they examine the report and then issue their ruling on the matter. Yes.
