The questioner : In English

Another questioner : How do we reconcile this with the hadith that says the mother who dies in childbirth is a martyr?

The Shaykh : What does the hadith say?

The questioner : That the mother who dies in childbirth is a martyr?

The Shaykh : Fine, where is the contradiction?

The questioner : The contradiction is that on one hand, if she dies while giving birth, she is a martyr, which means she has a great reward, while on the other hand, you say she should abort to preserve her life?

The Shaykh : No, this question is not valid, because I do not think it is believed that this martyrdom is an obligation!

The questioner : In English

Another questioner : Against her will, but here, legally, she is to get rid of the fetus if that leads to her death...

The questioner : In English

The Shaykh : The demolition, the demolition, it was also mentioned in the context of demolition.

The questioner : That is reasonable, my lord.

The Shaykh : One hundred percent reasonable.

The questioner : Meaning, at that moment, it is obligatory for the mother.

The Shaykh : And I say to Abu Muhammad, may Allah reward him with good.

The questioner : And after that, she is sinful if she did not try to get rid of it.

The Shaykh : I tell you, the demolition, the demolition, the one who dies under the demolition is a martyr.
