The Expiation of a Woman Who Deliberately Aborted Three Fetuses

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This questioner says: What is the expiation for a woman who deliberately aborted three fetuses?

The Shaykh:
If the soul had been breathed into them and then she aborted them, she must pay the blood money and the expiation. Yes.

The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh.

The Shaykh:
If it was before the soul was breathed in, then there is nothing required of her, but she has sinned by aborting it without a valid reason, because the husband has a right to the child.
