Pearl of Wisdom

'When it was dark and part of the night had passed, Abu 'Abdillah (AS) would take a sack of bread, meat and money, and carry it on his back to the needy of Madina. He would distribute it among them Imam Ja'far b. Muhammad al-Sadiq (AS) whilst they did not even recognise him. When Abu 'Abdillah (AS) passed away, they missed [the aid] and realized that it had in fact been Abu 'Abdillah.'

Subject:	abortion for a pregnant with AIDS
Question:	What is the ruling on abortion for a pregnant woman who is infected with AIDS?
Answer:	It is not permissible, more so after the soul has entered the feotus. Of course, if continuation of the pregnancy poses a danger to the mother, it is permissible for her to abort it before the entering of the soul in the feotus, but not after it.
