What is the religious ruling on fulfilling a vow that states: "O Lord, I make a vow that if my son is cured and walks on the earth, I will become pregnant and give birth," and is expiation due for it? And is aborting a fetus due to a medical examination revealing it has a defect considered "killing a soul"?
Aborting a fetus merely because it is deformed or sick is impermissible. Rather, abortion is permissible only if there is a verified danger to the mother's life or to one of her organs.
