Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: A man joked with his wife while she was five months pregnant until the fetus was aborted; what is the ruling for this husband?
Answer:
How did he joke with her? I mean, did he frighten her? If he frightened her and she aborted, then he owes an expiation; he owes an expiation because he caused her death. She was five months along, and he caused her death by frightening her. But if it was ordinary joking and did not involve frightening her, then he owes nothing. Yes.
