Question:
This person is asking about aborting a fetus if it is completely deformed and the doctor orders it. What is the ruling?
Answer:
Answer: It is not permissible to abort a fetus unless there is a danger to the mother's life from its remaining. If there is a danger to her life from its remaining, and a group of trusted doctors, a trusted medical committee, decide that the continuation of this pregnancy poses a harm to the mother's life, then it is aborted in order to preserve the mother's life. As for aborting it because it is deformed, it is left to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) to take charge of it; if He wills, He will keep it and give it life, and if He wills, He will take it to Himself.
