Question

I am a female blessed with a son (2 years old) and now expecting again but I am very weak and so scared to have another child. Now my question is what does Islam say about abortion for a weak woman?

Answer

Don’t ever think of abortion. Rather turn to Allah Ta'ala and seek his divine assistance. Allah Ta'ala will assist you and make it easy for you. For further details regarding abortion refer to http://muftionline.co.za/node/4585

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