Is it permissible, in Islamic law, to abort a pregnancy that has not exceeded forty days, given that the woman is fifteen years old and still a student?

It is not permissible to abort the fetus at any stage unless there is a verifiable harm to the woman in continuing the pregnancy. It is not aborted under the pretext of the mother's young age or her going to school.
