The Shaykh : There are also rulings that result from the pregnancy being a nutfah (drop of fluid). Who knows any of them? Please, go ahead.
The student: ... if it is not formed.
The Shaykh : No, it is not a mudghah (lump of flesh); if it is an 'alaqah (clot).
The student: An 'alaqah (clot)...
The Shaykh : No, the ruling applies if it is an 'alaqah (clot).
The student: It is not permissible to abort it if it is an 'alaqah (clot).
The Shaykh : Correct. Rest now.
If it is an 'alaqah (clot), the scholars—specifically the Hanbali scholars—said that it is not permissible to abort it, unlike when it is a nutfah (drop of fluid), in which case it is permissible. However, as I said, it is better not to do so except out of pressing need. As for when it is an 'alaqah (clot), it is not permissible to abort it.
