The questioner : This question says: A woman’s period stopped for two months and she was pregnant. She did not know of her pregnancy due to her ignorance of the signs of pregnancy. Then she experienced abdominal cramps and used a laxative, not knowing she was pregnant, but only using it for treatment. As a result, her pregnancy was lost in the form of a fist-sized piece of red blood. The question from this woman, after Allah blessed her with offspring, the youngest of whom is in university after thirty years: Does she have any sin or expiation for what she did, despite her ignorance, and there were no scholars or shaykhs in the past for her to ask?
The Shaykh : No. She owes nothing, because this pregnancy was not a human being. Also, she did not take the medicine in order to cause a miscarriage. She took it to ease her stomach, as she thought it was abdominal cramps, so she took it. So she owes nothing. Yes.
The Shaykh : No. She owes nothing, because this pregnancy was not a human being. Also, she did not take the medicine in order to cause a miscarriage. She took it to ease her stomach, as she thought it was abdominal cramps, so she took it. So she owes nothing. Yes.
