The question

What is the ruling on aborting a three-month-old fetus afflicted with a serious skin disease that develops into an intestinal disease, leading to its death three or four months after birth, especially given that the same parents have previously given birth to two fetuses with the same disease who died within a similar period after birth?

The answer

Abortion is forbidden and not permissible, as it is an aggression against a soul without a lawful right, except in two cases:

1. If the pregnancy poses a verifiable threat to the mother's life, confirmed by a medical report.

2. If the fetus dies in its mother's womb.

The illness of the fetus does not justify abortion, unless it dies in its mother's womb.
