What is the ruling on abortion if the pregnancy poses a danger to the mother's life due to uterine damage from repeated C-sections and adhesions?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is permissible to abort the fetus after the soul has been breathed into it if trustworthy and experienced individuals testify that the continuation of the pregnancy poses a danger to the mother's life. If the soul has not yet been breathed into it, the matter is less severe.
