Question:
We say: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a pregnant woman dies and there is a living fetus in her womb, is it permissible to extract it by opening the woman's abdomen?
Answer:
No, if it can be extracted without opening her abdomen, that is done. But if it requires opening her abdomen, it is not permissible. This is mutilation, a form of mutilation. Yes.
