What is the ruling on aborting a girl who became pregnant as a result of fornication in her fifth month of pregnancy? What is the ruling on burying the deceased fetus? And what is the ruling on the father writing his name and his wife's name on the burial permit?

The girl must repent of fornication if she was not coerced. Everyone who participated in the abortion must repent. Whoever directly performed the abortion must pay the blood money. As for you, you must seek forgiveness if you fell short in advising them regarding the impermissibility of abortion. The young man who committed fornication must repent, and he is not obligated to marry the girl with whom he fornicated.
