If breastfeeding is established between the spouses, and there is a pregnancy
The Shaykh:
If it is established.
The questioner:
There is breastfeeding between the spouses, and the pregnancy is two months old, so is the fetus aborted or left alone?
The Shaykh:
What is its sin in being aborted? It is not to be left; it must be left. It belongs to its father; it is attributed to its father, so it is left. And when she gives birth, she breastfeeds and raises it, and it belongs to its father and is attributed to his father. What is its sin in being aborted? Yes.
