What is your advice to a young man and woman who had a relationship that resulted in a pregnancy, which they then aborted after four months, knowing that one of the two fetuses had died before the abortion? Will their repentance be accepted, what is their expiation, and can they get married?

Abortion after the ensoulment is a grave sin that requires repentance, expiation (freeing a believing slave, or fasting for two consecutive months), and blood money (five camels to be given to the embryo's heirs). The expiation and blood money multiply with the number of embryos. Each participant in the killing is liable for a full expiation, and the blood money is divided among them. The mother's heirs are entitled to the embryo's blood money. As for their marriage after repentance, it is permissible.
