The scholars all agree that abortion is forbidden after the first four months of
pregnancy, since by that time the soul has entered the embryo but it would allow
the use of RU486 (the "morning-after pill"), as long as it could be reasonably
assumed that the fertilized egg has not become implanted on the wall of the
uterus. Most scholars say that abortion is legal under Islamic Shari'ah (law),
when done for valid reasons and when completed before the soul enters the
embryo. To abort a baby for such vain reasons as wanting to keep a woman’s
youthful figure, are not valid.
Some Muslims argue that
the only case when aborting a fetus, before or after 120 days, is allowed in
Islam, is when a medical situation threatens the life of the mother, leaving
only two options, to let either the other or the fetus survive, but
not
both.
Scholars argue that such a case can only be determined by a specialist, trusted
and committed Muslim doctor. They argue that the mother can have other children,
whereas the child cannot make up for losing the mother.
I couldn't advise her because many people try hardly to get pregnant but never get the chance to do so, but I also understands what is she going through.
