Abortion is always forbidden, whether before or after the insufflation of the soul, unless the pregnancy poses a real danger to the mother's life, and this is confirmed by a trustworthy doctor. Expecting harm or fearing hardship does not permit abortion. Whoever aborts without a valid reason must repent to Allah, and a ghurrah is required of her; if that is not possible, then a tenth of its blood money (diyah).
