Does pregnancy pose a danger to my life, given that I suffer from high blood pressure and proteinuria, am 45 years old, and have five children? Is it permissible for me to present my case to a Muslim male doctor? Is abortion in the fourth month forbidden under these circumstances?
Specialists determine the extent of the pregnancy's danger. If trustworthy doctors decide that the continuation of the pregnancy poses a danger, then there is no objection to aborting it. As for consulting a male doctor, there is no objection to it if a female doctor is not available to perform the procedure.
