Is a woman who works in a hospital and assists surgeons in preparing and supplying instruments for abortion procedures considered sinful and complicit in this crime?
Abortion after the ensoulment is forbidden by Islamic law. It is the killing of a forbidden soul, and it may also cause damage to some of the mother's organs and encourage indecency. Doctors and nurses who assist in abortions are complicit in sinful and unlawful aggression. Therefore, it is not permissible for a nurse to assist a doctor in a forbidden act such as abortion or other forbidden operations that involve altering Allah's creation, preventing procreation, transplanting stolen organs, or any operations that do not conform to Islamic law. Nurses should seek a permissible work environment to avoid violations such as impermissible mixing with the opposite gender and private seclusion.
