How much is the blood money (Diyya) to be paid in Moroccan Dirhams for the abortion of a one-and-a-half-month-old fetus, knowing that the abortion was performed due to the unavailability of funds for a fourth Cesarean section, which posed a danger to the mother's life?

A woman should not undergo abortion unless trusted physicians decide that the continuation of the pregnancy poses a definite threat to her life. In such a case, the lesser of two evils is committed. However, if the abortion is performed without a legitimate Islamic reason, the woman must make sincere repentance, frequently seek forgiveness, and perform righteous deeds.

For aborting a fetus, a "ghurra" must be paid, which is a young male or female slave. This is supported by the Hadith (definition) of Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him). Jurists have agreed on the obligation of the ghurra for a fetus whose creation has become apparent. The value of the ghurra—if a slave is not available—is one-tenth of the mother's blood money (diyah).

If the pregnancy has passed the stage of a sperm drop (after 40 days and entering the second forty-day period), the ghurra becomes obligatory, whether it is a clinging clot ('alaqa) or a chewed lump (mudghah). Modern means have proven that creation begins at this stage. Therefore, what the woman did necessitates a ghurra or its value, because the abortion occurred in the second forty-day period. The value of the ghurra is determined by knowing one-tenth of the woman's blood money in Moroccan Dirhams.
