What is the ruling on aborting a pregnancy less than one month old for the purpose of performing the Hajj pilgrimage in the same year?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
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.
