The Ruling on Aborting the Fetus in the Early Months
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This woman is asking about the ruling on aborting the fetus in the early months for a medical reason?
Answer:
It is not permissible to abort the fetus. At any time, once it has settled in the womb, it is not permissible to abort it unless a medical committee decides—decides—that it is necessary to abort it. In that case, their report is presented to the scholars who are responsible for issuing fatwas. If they issue a fatwa permitting the abortion, then it is aborted. Yes. Two things are required. First, a reliable medical report. Second, a fatwa from the authority responsible for issuing fatwas in the community. Yes.
