Ask Qul - Women's Issues - abortion for a pregnant with AIDS

Pearl of Wisdom

I was with Abu 'Abdillah [al-Sadiq] (AS), and there was with him a man from al-Mughiriyyah. The man asked him about some practices. He said, 'There is nothing which the offspring of Adam needs except that it has been expounded in the practices set by Allah and His Messenger. Otherwise He would not have the argument over us that he holds.' The man from al-Mughiriyyah then asked, 'And what is His argument?' Abu 'Abdillah (AS) said, '[It is ] His verse: Today I have perfected your religion for you, and I have completed My blessing upon you.'

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.
