What is the ruling on removing a fetal deformity if it is caused by a bacterial infection such as German measles?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : One of our brothers, who is also a doctor, asked, saying: What if the fetal deformities are not due to taking medication, but rather due to a microbial infection—such as German measles, for example—that the mother contracted and which affects the fetus, causing deformity?
The Shaykh : Yes, what should be done?
The questioner : The same discussion as before.
The Shaykh : The same ruling as before, but regarding treatment, meaning treating it in the fetus before the creation is complete; otherwise, there is no treatment?
The questioner : Weak.
The Shaykh : Weak, the ruling is the same.
The questioner : We have one more question to conclude the topic; we have kept you waiting long enough.
The Shaykh: Go ahead.
