Alabama’s new reproductive law considers embryos children | The Daily Show
The Islamic view on abortion is complex and varies depending on the stage of pregnancy, the reason for the abortion, and the interpretation of Islamic law.
Some Islamic scholars believe that abortion is permissible before the fetus is ensouled, which they believe occurs at 40 days after conception. Other scholars believe that abortion is only permissible to save the life of the mother, or in cases of rape or incest. Still others believe that abortion is not permissible under any circumstances.
It is important to note that abortion is a highly sensitive issue, and that there is no single, universally accepted Islamic view on the matter. If you are considering having an abortion, it is important to consult with a qualified Islamic scholar, as well as a medical professional.
Also, the specific timing of ensoulment is a point of debate among different Islamic schools of thought.
Here are some additional details:
- Schools like Hanafi and Shafi'i may allow abortion until the end of the fourth month (16 weeks) if there are valid reasons.
- Maliki and Hanbali schools generally restrict abortion to 40 days with parental consent and valid reasons.
- Some scholars consider abortion forbidden after ensoulment (40 days to 120 days, depending on interpretation).
- Others view the mother's life as the only exception at any stage.
Remember, consulting a qualified scholar who understands your specific circumstances and adheres to your chosen school of thought is crucial for guidance on such a sensitive issue.
