What is the religious ruling on aborting a pregnancy that occurred five months after a previous Cesarean section, given the mother has had three prior Cesarean sections, and out of fear for the health of the mother, her surgical wound, and her infant?

Scholars have differed on the ruling concerning abortion before the ensoulment of the fetus. If there is a possibility of harm from the pregnancy, then there is no objection to adopting the view of those who permit abortion before forty days (of gestation) to avert hardship, in accordance with the permissibility of taking the easier opinion when hardship exists.
