Is it permissible to abort a fetus at 25 days of gestation if the mother has diabetes and is taking medications that are not allowed during pregnancy?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the pregnancy is in its early stage (within the first forty days) and a trustworthy, specialized female doctor advises that abortion is necessary to prevent a certain harm, then abortion is permissible. However, abortion out of fear of hardship in raising children or to suffice with a certain number of children is not permissible.
