Is it permissible to abort a six-day-old fetus if the mother cannot psychologically, medically, or socially bear the pregnancy due to her suffering from anxiety, boredom, and the hardship of raising young children, and fearing that the family will not be able to support her in raising an additional child?

Abortion before forty days is prohibited unless it serves a legitimate interest or repels harm. The decision of the Council of Senior Scholars states that abortion is permissible in the first stage of pregnancy if it serves a legitimate interest or repels anticipated harm, and it is not permissible due to fear of hardship in raising children. Therefore, it is permissible for the questioner to abort the fetus to repel the harm of successive pregnancies, her weakened health, and the care of her children.
