What is the way to repentance, and what must be done after the abortion of a pregnancy that resulted from an encounter after divorce and before one hundred and twenty days of the pregnancy had passed?

Adultery is a grave sin, and the sin is compounded by aborting the fetus. If the abortion occurs after the insufflation of the soul, it is considered killing a soul, which necessitates a ghurrah (a male or female slave) or its equivalent value (one-tenth of the mother's blood money). What is obligatory is repentance, seeking forgiveness, performing abundant righteous deeds, paying the fetus's blood money if you were a cause in its abortion, and severing ties with women of immorality and depravity.
