#348: Ruling on Aborting Pregnancy from Rape
” Question admin: what is the Islamic ruling on the foetus of a rape victim. Can it be aborted?”
ANSWER
Alhamdulillaah! It is not permissible under any circumstances to abort a pregnancy whether it is from a legitimate father or not.
The exemption that some of the Ulamaa give to that is if it is medically proven that passing through the pains of childbirth will most likely be a direct cause of the death of the mother.
Allaah knows best.
