Yesterday, A student asked me about my views on abortion and
contraception, and enquired about what Islamic teachings says about this topic!
I respond him that I have least knowledge about that particular
topic, and a person should ask the people who know something. I further advised
him to contact religious scholars.
When he went I searched a little, and discussed with few to confirm
my opinion about Abortion.
Now My Opinion is:
1 The Shari'ah allows
abortion only when a qualified and Practicing Muslim doctor declares with
reasonable certainty that the continuation of pregnancy will endanger the
woman's life.
This permission is based on the principle of the lesser of the
two evils known in Islamic legal terminology as the principle of al-ahamm
wa 'l-muhimm (the more important and the less important).
The Prophet
said, "When two forbidden things come [upon a person] together, then the
lesser will be sacrificed for the greater." In the present case, one is
faced with two forbidden things: either abort the unborn child or let a living
woman die. Obviously, the latter is greater than the former; therefore,
abortion is allowed to save the live person.
2 Abortion due to economical
reasons is not acceptable, nor allowed whatever the case may be, because by
doing so you are unintentionally challenging The ALLAH Almighty. ALLAH says :
Translation :
There is not a creature on earth whose provision is not guaranteed
by GOD. And He knows its course and its final destiny. All are recorded in a
profound record
(Surah Hood aya # 6)
When ALLAH Himself taking the responsibility of everyone on the
earth, then why should we worry about that.
Well ALLAH didn’t say that in Quran that everyone will be forgived
on the judgment day, big reason to worry about!

A worried woman went to her
gynecologist and said:
'Doctor, I have a serious problem and desperately need your help! My baby is not even 1 year old and I'm pregnant again. I don't want kids so close together.'
So the doctor said: 'Ok and what do you want me to do?'
She said: 'I want you to end my pregnancy, and I'm counting on your help with this.'
The doctor thought for a little, and after some silence he said to the lady: 'I think I have a better solution for your problem. It's less dangerous for you too.'
She smiled, thinking that the doctor was going to accept her request.
Then he continued: 'You see, in order for you not to have to take care of 2 babies at the same time, let's kill the one in your arms. This way, you could rest some before the other one is born. If we're going to kill one of them, it doesn't matter which one it is. There would be no risk for your body if you chose the one in your arms.'
The lady was horrified and said: 'No doctor! How terrible! It's a crime to kill a child!'
'I agree', the doctor replied. 'But you seemed to be OK with it, so I thought maybe that was the best solution.'
The doctor smiled, realizing that he had made his point.
He convinced the mom that there is no difference in killing a child that's already been born and one that's still in the womb. The crime is the same!
