The questioner : May Allah forgive you, O honorable Shaykh. The questioner says: I am a newly married woman, and after a period of time had passed since my marriage, my period was delayed beyond its usual time for me, so I started playing and jumping to make it come. After that, blood came out, which was blood of miscarriage and abortion. The question is: Do I have any sin in this miscarriage, and am I sinful in that, knowing that I did not intend to become pregnant, but it happened without my will, and knowing that I am a virgin? Please give us a ruling, may you be rewarded.
The Shaykh : First, it is not befitting for a woman to direct the question in this manner in a gathering of men, because this involves a lack of modesty; that she is a virgin and that she played and jumped, and so on. If she had presented the question in a polite manner and said, "This is a woman who experienced such and such," that would have been more appropriate. For this reason, you find that the women of the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them), when a woman wanted to speak about something she was shy about, she would provide an introduction to the question and present what indicates an excuse. I say to this woman, regarding the answer: if she did not know that she was pregnant and did this action, and then what was in her womb fell out, which was a pregnancy, then there is no sin on her because she did not know about it.

The Shaykh : This question, this answer: there is no sin on her.
The questioner : Do we read a question like this?
The Shaykh : No, do not read a question like this, or if you read it, change it to the third person. Yes.
