Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Even if the woman intentionally causes it to fall.
The Shaykh : It is not permissible for her to intentionally cause a miscarriage once the creation of the human being has become apparent in it. Miscarriage is permissible if it is within the first forty days, according to the opinion of some scholars. Some scholars hold that it is not permissible even within the first forty days. As for after the creation of the human being has become apparent in it, it is not permissible for her to cause a miscarriage, except if it becomes clear that there is a defect in this fetus, such as a disfigurement that cannot be tolerated, and the doctors see that it should be removed, then there is no harm. Yes.
