Is it permissible to abort a pregnancy in its first month due to the husband's absence and the difficulty of his presence, his agreement to that, and the resulting psychological harm and depression?
Aborting the fetus is forbidden at any stage, and the prohibition becomes stronger if the soul has been breathed into it. Psychological harm or depression are not considered justifications for abortion. It is recommended to frequently remember Allah, associate with righteous women, and attend circles of knowledge. For whoever fears Allah, He will make for him a way out and provide for him from where he does not expect.
