Abortion of the pregnancy immediately after postpartum bleeding

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: A woman became pregnant immediately after her postpartum bleeding ended, and her mental state was affected by it. She now wants to abort the pregnancy. Is this permissible for her?

The Shaykh:
No, it is not permissible for her to abort it. What is its sin? What sin does it have? And it may be good for her; a child may be born whom Allah will reform, and who will be dutiful to her. Do not hate this. Praise be to Allah. Yes.

The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh.

The Shaykh:
Unless she has a valid excuse. If she has a valid excuse, she should ask the Department of Ifta. But if she has no valid excuse, she should leave it alone, as it may be good for her. Yes.
