Is abortion permissible if the 3-4 month-old unborn is found with only half of its brain developed?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
Is abortion permissible if the 3-4 months unborn is found with only half brain developed.

Answer

(Fatwa: 328/295/B=1432)

Before four months, until the soul is not blown in the foetus, it has been allowed to abort it under some compulsions, but it is not allowable to abort after the soul is blown in the foetus. A foetus is given life by Allah when after four months in the womb of its mother. The information provided by the doctors through instruments is not definite and absolute; hence a ruling cannot be based at their words.

Allah (Subhana Wa Ta’ala) knows Best

Darul Ifta,
