Having an abortion although the fetus is more than four months old
Q 2:
A woman had an abortion when the fetus was 4 months old,
but now she regrets what she did. What should she do and what is the Kaffarah (expiation)? Please answer us. May Allah reward you well!
A:
Any woman who intentionally terminates her pregnancy should perform Tawbah (repentance to Allah) and seek Allah's Forgiveness, may Allah forgive her. In addition, she has to pay the Diyah (blood money) which is a male or a female slave. It is equal to one tenth of the mother's Diyah, which is 5 camels. The current value of this Diyah is 5,000 Riyals.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
