The topic I will be discussing is a sensitive one, given the varying perspectives people hold. However, based on my beliefs and religion, I will be addressing it. In the Islamic faith, abortion is prohibited. While Islam is generally lenient about abortion, the acceptability of terminating a pregnancy depends on factors such as the threat to the mother’s well-being, the stage of the pregnancy before or after ensoulment (at the 120th day of gestation), and the presence of fetal anomalies incompatible with life. There is significant variation in religious rulings, but most Islamic scholars concur that ending a pregnancy due to fetal abnormalities is permissible before ensoulment. Afterward, abortion is deemed entirely forbidden, except in cases where the mother’s life is at risk or there is confirmed intrauterine death. Islam values life and encourages parenthood. Nonetheless, the faith acknowledges that life can be complicated, and there are situations where abortion may be necessary, such as in cases of rape or to save the mother’s life.
