The answer

If the doctor and the mufti advise performing a delivery operation with the fetus placed in an incubator, then there is no sin upon the mother for what occurred; because it is not considered a forbidden abortion, but rather the extraction of the fetus alive for its benefit and the benefit of its mother.
