Question:
What is the ruling on aborting the fetus before forty days due to psychological and social circumstances, especially if the wife fears divorce in the future?
Answer:
Answer: It is not permissible to abort the pregnancy to escape it, or out of hatred for the pregnancy; this is not permissible. However, if this is medically necessary, and the doctors have determined that this fetus must be aborted because it poses a danger to the life of its mother, and the scholars have issued a fatwa based on this report, then it is dropped. This matter is not a game. Does anyone who wants to abort the pregnancy just do so? No, there must be a report from specialized doctors, and there must be a fatwa issued in accordance with this report.
