The ruling on a woman who undergoes a cleaning procedure: Does she fast? And is there a distinction between the duration of the pregnancy, or is it the same?

Question : He was asked about a woman who undergoes a cleaning procedure: Does she fast? And is there a distinction between the duration of the pregnancy, or is it the same?

Answer : The principle in this is that if the pregnancy reaches four months and it is alive, and if it reaches four months and its form is clear, then it is not permissible to abort it under any circumstances, even if the doctors say that if you do not abort it, the mother will die. We say: And the mother did not die. If it reaches four months, the soul has been breathed into it, and it cannot be aborted. Because aborting it means killing a soul without right. If they say that if it remains, its mother will die, and then it will also die, we say: And that did not happen. If its mother dies, then she died by the action of whom?
By the action of Allah. And if her fetus dies with her, it is by the action of Allah the Exalted. But for us to abort the fetus so that it dies, and that is by our action for the sake of the mother’s survival, when the mother’s survival is not certain—she may die with it, even though we removed it—this is not permissible. However, if it is before the soul is breathed into it, then if there is harm to the mother in its remaining, it is aborted, and there is no obstacle. And in that case, if the form of a human has become apparent in it, the blood is post-natal bleeding, and the form of a human cannot become apparent in less than eighty days.
And if the form of a human has not become apparent in it, as if it is less than eighty days, then the blood that comes out is not post-natal bleeding, but it is corrupt blood. She prays and fasts, and her husband may have intercourse with her, and there is nothing upon her. This is the criterion. If there are now three criteria: what is before eighty days, the blood is corrupt and the waiting period does not apply. And what is above eighty days and the form of a human has become apparent in it, but the soul has not been breathed into it, meaning less than four months, this is post-natal bleeding, and there is no harm in aborting it if the doctors say that its remaining is harmful to the mother. And the third.
What is it? What is after four months, so it is forbidden to abort it absolutely, because the soul has been breathed into it, and it is killing a soul, and it is not permissible to kill a soul. If they say, “We kill it so that its mother remains,” we say: Who told you that its mother will remain? If we remove it and it dies, who said this?
No one says this. Who sees this? And the second, even if we thought a hundred percent that its mother would live if we removed it and killed it, it is not permissible for us to kill a person to keep another person alive.
