before 120 days of pregnancy. if there are other cases I don't know. I will try to  ask and maybe get an answer on Monday.
but I'm sure it's not allowed after 4 months.

I heard that too, but never from reliable sources, quite the opposite.

Well I asked and the reply is:
only before 120 days of pregnancy (before the soul is blown into the embryo), there are 2 conditions in this case.
1) The doctor doesn't see the woman's 3wrah (there is a way using herbs and medicine)
2) it doesn't pose a threat to her life
and it is not a condition that the woman is in danger.
and after 120 days it's forbidden

That's more like it.

Thankyou all for the information given. It is good to know and learn more and elaborate on why we can and cannot do certain things. We do not want mis interpretations of any sort in our lives wheres this causes complications and confusions and wrong understandings.

very interesting to read this very generic post in such a topic such as "abortion"

thank you sister Adalia for taking part in the discussion


misinterpretations of any sort are dangerous... and when it comes to talking about islam, those become much more serious. may Allah save us.

Ameen, May Allah Save Us And Protect Us!!

The part I've bolded is the position in the Hanafi school. I don't believe that all schools agreed that a woman may abort a pregnancy before four months without having a valid reason. But yes, that is the position of the Hanafi school.
