What is the ruling on participating in an unlawful abortion, what should have been done, and how is repentance performed?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Assisting in abortion is religiously forbidden. Whoever directly performs the abortion is liable for a blood money (diyya) equivalent to one-tenth of the mother's blood money. Whoever assists in it commits a sin and must perform sincere repentance and show remorse. He or she must also refrain from this reprehensible act.
