Woman inducing her periods before its date

Question

Is it permissible in Islam to induce periods before its date, if there’s a doubt of pregnancy?

Answer

If a woman doubts whether she is pregnant, then it is not right for her to induce her period. Inducing her period means that she wants to terminate her pregnancy and terminating the pregnancy is not permissible.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
