Abortion in the third month
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This questioner says that her sister went against the doctors' advice and had an abortion out of ignorance. What is the Islamic ruling on this?
The Shaykh:
How many months was the pregnancy?
The questioner:
She says three months, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
Three months. It is not permissible, meaning she has committed a sin by doing so, but she owes no expiation; because the soul was not breathed into it. From four months and beyond, yes.
