Is the heartbeat of a fetus heard when it is three months old?

Question : One of the doctors said that in an abortion procedure at three months, the heartbeat of the child is heard. The procedure. Yes.

Answer : It is possible for the heart to move without a soul. If that is the case, it is possible, because the hadith of Ibn Mas'ud is authentic that when it reaches one hundred and twenty days, the soul is breathed into it, and that is four months. It is not possible for the soul to be breathed into it [before then], but if we assume it is established with certainty that it moves and cries out and does the actions of a living being, then in that case, either we say that there was an error in estimating the duration of the pregnancy, and the pregnancy had advanced but they erred in estimating the period, and they did not know of it until, for example, a month or twenty days or something similar had passed. And if the matter is precisely determined, we say that this is generally understood by carrying the hadith of Ibn 'Abbas to the general case. But we have not yet needed to carry it to the general case because it has not been established. As for the movement of the heart without a soul, I tell you that I slaughtered a chicken and its soul departed, and I cut open its belly, and there was its heart beating, beating once with this and with this, meaning the pumping and receiving, because the heart has a pump that pushes the blood and something that receives the blood. I found this after it had died and cooled. Allah is capable of all things. And here is the eye, the eye of a human being; when his soul is taken, you see the soul, and the sight follows it, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said. He says that a person may die in terms of the brain, because when the brain dies, all movements stop except the heart, which beats, and it may remain for a month or two months or more.
