Abortion in Islam
Question:
If a fetus is found to have some defects (at about 4.5 months of
pregnancy) one which includes Problem with fetus heart, lungs, brain
and the doctors suggest an abortion since most of such pregnancies
end up in miscarriages at a later and riskier stage of pregnancies.
What is a muslim couple to do? The couple have to make a decision
the soonest possible. What do the laws of islam say? Please quote
respective Quranic, Hadith and sunnnah refernces.
Dear brother
Assalamu Alaykum I have no absolute answer for you from the Qur'an.
The reason being that, at the time of the Prophet (pbuh) and his
Companions there was no technology to determine whether or not the
child would be born with any defects. However, Islamic law is rich
enough to provide you with an answer. Muslim scholars have two opinions
in regard to your question. (1) One opinion holds that abortion
is not allowed in this situation. Abortion is allowed only if the
life of the mother is in danger. (2) The second opinion believes
the opposite, because Allah does not put burden on people. Also,
the child is going to suffer throughout his/her life. Brother, it's
up to you to choose any one of the above stated opinions that you
feel more comfortable with.
What
does Qur’an say about abortion?
Assalmu
Alaykum
Qur'an
did not say anything about abortion in a specific language, but killing
of an innocent soul is forbidden in absolute terms in the Quran. The
Issue of abortion is discussed in fiqh.
It is haram except
when the life of the
mother is in danger.

Extended Family, Abortion, Divorce
1.
She is my sister and the only child of her mom, who is my father's
wife (my aunt). Her husband doesn't like her mom and she loves her
mom too much. My father is too old and that was the reason that
his new wife didn't have too many kids. She is too patient and she
is not from the same country of us but she took care of her daughter
and now her son in low doesn't like her wife to talk to her mom.
So I want to know who is the one that my sister should take care
more about her husband or her poor mom. Is this a reason that allows
my sister to ask for divorce from her husband?
2.
My same sister was pregnant. She and her husband were planning to
get divorce. He asked her to have an abortion and she did it cause
he was asking her to do it. I want to know, who is to be blamed?
How can they solve this mistake? Her husband want her to bring baby
now and she didn't want cause she is so scared if the same thing
will happen for the next time so what should she do? My sister now
is in the US with her husband for one year and she want to know
if she can ask her husband to stay with her family during their
break, cause the vacation is only 20 days, she has her mom and her
so old dad. She wants to take care of them in this period. Can she
ask him for that or not? And in the same while she take care of
him a lot in this year in the US and he says that so is it ok for
her to spend the vacation with her family?
Jazakom Allah
kheer atmnaa alrad fe asraa forsah?
Dear sister
Advise for your sister: Remind your husband with the rights of the
parent in Islam. Take care of your old mother. Don't ask your husband
for divorce.
Both your sister
and her husband are in sin for the abortion. If she become pregnant
for the second time Do NOT ABORT the child. It is HARAM.

Abortion
A.
What about abortion before it's fetus?
Assalamu
Alaykum
Generally
speaking, abortion is not allowed whether before or after the fetus,
except the life of
the mother is at risk.
B.
My same sister was pregnant. She and her husband were planning to
get divorce. He asked her to have an abortion and she did it cause
he was asking her to do it. I want to know, who is to be blamed?
they solve this mistake?
Killing
innocent person is Haram in Islam. Abortion is not but killing innocent
child. Thus, both of your sister and her husband have committed
a major sin. They should ask Allah’s forgiveness.
If she becomes pregnant for the second time, she SHOULD NOT
ABORT the child. It
is HARAM. However,
abortion is allowed only if the life of the mother is in danger
