O que o islã ensina sobre Aborto
Segundo o islã, Aborto: Pecado.
O islã proíbe o aborto eletivo, mas o permite em circunstâncias específicas. A maioria dos estudiosos permite o aborto antes de 120 dias (quando se acredita que ocorre a infusão da alma) por razões sérias. Após 120 dias, só é permitido para salvar a vida da mãe. O consenso é que o aborto sem razão válida é haram.

Islam takes a nuanced, stage-based approach to abortion. The key concept is ensoulment (nafkh al-ruh), which according to hadith occurs at 120 days (about 17 weeks) of gestation. Before ensoulment, most scholars permit abortion for serious reasons (fetal abnormalities, rape, risk to mother's health), though some schools restrict even early abortion. After 120 days, the vast majority of scholars prohibit abortion except to save the mother's life. This is based on the Islamic legal principle that when two lives are in conflict, the existing life (the mother) takes precedence over the potential life (the fetus). Abortions performed for reasons of gender selection, convenience, or family planning are universally condemned.
