Is it permissible to abort a fetus five days after it has exceeded forty days, due to extreme exhaustion from successive pregnancies, the difficulty of residing abroad, and problems related to the residency of the new-born?

Scholars have differed concerning the ruling on aborting a fetus before the ensoulment ( نفخ الروح ) . The preferred view is that abortion after forty days is forbidden and impermissible except in cases of necessity. Neither fatigue nor living conditions are considered necessities that permit abortion.
