Scholars differ Family & relations

Is abortion permitted?

Short answer

Scholars agree it is forbidden after the soul is breathed into the child (taught to be 120 days) unless the mother's life is in danger. Before that, they differ: some forbid it unless there is a real need, and others allow it for a valid reason before 40 days. The Quran forbids killing children (17:31, 6:151). Ask a scholar and a trusted doctor.

Evidence

Quran

وَلَا تَقْتُلُوٓا۟ أَوْلَٰدَكُمْ خَشْيَةَ إِمْلَٰقٍۢ ۖ نَّحْنُ نَرْزُقُهُمْ وَإِيَّاكُمْ ۚ إِنَّ قَتْلَهُمْ كَانَ خِطْـًۭٔا كَبِيرًۭا ﴿٣١﴾

Et ne tuez pas vos enfants par crainte de pauvreté; c'est Nous qui attribuons leur subsistance, tout comme à vous. Les tuer, c'est vraiment, un énorme péché.

۞ قُلْ تَعَالَوْا۟ أَتْلُ مَا حَرَّمَ رَبُّكُمْ عَلَيْكُمْ ۖ أَلَّا تُشْرِكُوا۟ بِهِۦ شَيْـًۭٔا ۖ وَبِٱلْوَٰلِدَيْنِ إِحْسَٰنًۭا ۖ وَلَا تَقْتُلُوٓا۟ أَوْلَٰدَكُم مِّنْ إِمْلَٰقٍۢ ۖ نَّحْنُ نَرْزُقُكُمْ وَإِيَّاهُمْ ۖ وَلَا تَقْرَبُوا۟ ٱلْفَوَٰحِشَ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَمَا بَطَنَ ۖ وَلَا تَقْتُلُوا۟ ٱلنَّفْسَ ٱلَّتِى حَرَّمَ ٱللَّهُ إِلَّا بِٱلْحَقِّ ۚ ذَٰلِكُمْ وَصَّىٰكُم بِهِۦ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ ﴿١٥١﴾

Dis: «Venez, je vais réciter ce que votre Seigneur vous a interdit: ne Lui associez rien; et soyez bienfaisants envers vos père et mère. Ne tuez pas vos enfants pour cause de pauvreté. Nous vous nourrissons tout comme eux. N'approchez pas des turpitudes ouvertement, ou en cachette. Ne tuez qu'en toute justice la vie qu'Allah a fait sacrée. Voilà ce qu'[Allah] vous a recommandé de faire; peut-être comprendrez-vous.
