My wife is pregnant and the fetus is 4 months old. The fetus has many abnormalities. Distortions in the brain, heart, bone marrow, and feet. The doctor believes that the fetus will die before birth. And my wife is in the United States where they check for deformation and she does not feel the movement of the fetus inside her. Is abortion permissible in this case?
Answer
In the name of Allah, Allah prohibits abortion in as the question and He is able to protect the child from the aforementioned disease. Allah knows best.
One of our Muslim brothers got a Christian woman pregnant. She told him about the idea of abortion, so he encouraged her about this idea without knowing the ruling, because of his young age. He brought her a medicine the first time, but it did not succeed, but after that the woman herself traveled and bought a medicine and aborted during the first three or two months of pregnancy.
1- Is the man considered as the abortion initiator in this case? Is he considered as a murderer or not? 2- Is it possible that this man is going to be immortalized in Hell because of this sin, despite his repentance and remorse? 3 - Is what he's done a type of participating in the crime and the fetus may not give up its right on the judgement day? 4- Does the verse apply to the man (Whoever kills a believer deliberately, the penalty for him is Hell, where he will remain forever. And Allah will be angry at him, will curse him, and will prepare for him a terrible punishment) 5- Does seeking forgiveness and repentance guarantee that he will leave the aforementioned sin as someone who has no sin, and how does the dead fetus get satisfied and fulfill its right before the judgement day? 6 - This man desires to marry traditionally through the family, there is no specific girl, and he has exceeded thirty, but his conscience says how to allow himself to marry a pure girl and you have previously fallen into obscenity and the crime of abortion. As if he's going to cheat on the girl, so what do you advise? The man is moaning from guilt and afraid of the wrath of Allah, so please we are asking for your advice?

Is it permissible to abort a two-month old fetus by the wife if the fetus's stay may cause her problems because she is about to divorce her husband? Q2 - If the fetus is aborted, how much is the amount of legal blood money (Diyya) that must be paid, and to whom?
Answer
In the name of Allah, abortion is a sin, disobedience and killing of a believer if one of the parents of the fetus or both are Muslims. Abortion is prohibited at any stage of pregnancy and what I mean by pregnancy is after a moment of the start of the fertilization of the ovum and what was mentioned in the question does not justify abortion.
As for the amount of blood money (Diya), it is determined in light of determining the period of pregnancy. It is twenty dinars for every forty days of pregnancy. What is meant is the gold dinar, which is equal to the legitimate (Sharia) weight, which is three quarters of the exchange weight of gold. And if the pregnancy is at eighty days, the blood money is forty dinars until the end of four months, so the blood money will be full for the male and half for the female and between each stage in percentage. Allah knows best.
