Termination of Pregnancy for Twenty Days
A woman gave birth to a girl under very difficult health conditions, and she recently learned that she is twenty days pregnant, which led to her great fear of suffering, so she terminated the pregnancy. However, afterwards she felt guilty and pleaded for forgiveness from God through prayer. What is the ruling on her action?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: If the abortion is for less than four months due to an excuse such as illness, fear, or poverty, it is not disliked, and God knows best.
