The answer

The soul is breathed into the fetus after four months of pregnancy. If the wife intentionally aborts the fetuses, she owes for each fetus a "ghurrah": a male or female slave, which is one-tenth of the mother's blood money. The majority of scholars hold that expiation is obligatory for each fetus: freeing a slave; and whoever cannot find one, then fasting for two consecutive months. If the abortion was not due to her, then there is nothing due from her.
