The answer

Abortion is absolutely impermissible. Sincere repentance from all sins is obligatory before Hajj. The essence of repentance is to abandon sins, feel remorse, resolve not to return to them, and restore injustices to their rightful owners. Therefore, it is not befitting for someone who wishes to perform Hajj to commit a grave sin like abortion. Pregnancy does not invalidate Hajj. If there is difficulty, she may wait until she delivers her child.
