Is it permissible for doctors to remove two fetuses out of four from a woman's pregnancy, based on her husband's request who fears her exhaustion, knowing that the pregnancy duration is three months and that the doctors have paused, awaiting a religious ruling?
There is no objection to aborting the fetus if there is fear for the mother and the pregnancy has not reached four months. However, if the pregnancy has reached four months, it is not permissible to abort it under any circumstances.
