Aborting a twin due to her husband's rough treatment


A: If you are the reason behind ending your pregnancy as a result of your deliberate violation or negligence after the soul is breathed into the fetus, one Kaffarah (expiation) will be obligatory on you for every pregnancy you end. Kaffarah is freeing one believing slave; if there is no slave available, you must fast two consecutive months for each pregnancy you end. If abortion occurred without your interference or was done before the soul was breathed into it, i.e. before (Part No. 21; Page No. 434) the fifth month, there will be nothing on you.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
