Is abortion permissible if the fetus has congenital malformations, and is it necessary to conduct tests to detect malformations in every pregnancy, and are these tests considered an interference with God’s will?

Aborting a deformed fetus before ensoulment is a matter of scholarly disagreement, and the opinion permitting it is valid and considerable. The questioner and her husband are not blameworthy for relying on it. Nevertheless, the preponderant view is that deformity and the transmission of genetic diseases do not permit aborting the fetus, and this is more cautious and absolves one from responsibility. Laboratory tests are a part of scientific advancement and taking means, and they do not imply interference with Allah's will. These tests do not necessarily mean abortion; rather, they may contribute to early detection of the illness and its treatment or mitigation.
