Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Codes of Training Miscarriage There is no objection in Islam to contraception or family planning with the mutual consent of the spouses. If the wife and the husband desire not to have any more issues, they can prevent conception with harmless pills, injections and other contraceptive methods. But obviating birth of already conceived is undesirable in Islam. Islam wants that the progeny of its followers flourish.

When the male and female cells have fused to form an embryo, it is the rudiment of a living being and its abortion is forbidden in Islam. Although the embryo is a minuscule object, it has full right to existence. It is an existence, which is fast developing towards becoming a full-fledged human being. This small creature wants its mother to provide congenial environment to grow in and take birth as full-fledged human.

If one aborts such an existence, one has committed murder and the act will be liable to punishment of the parents on the Day of Judgement. The Faith of Islam, which is the guardian of the rights of all, has banned completely the abortion and infanticide. Ishaq bin Ammar says: I submitted to Imam Moosa ibne Jafar that in case a woman is scared of getting pregnant do you permit her to take medicine which brings about abortion. The Imam replied, No! I cannot give such a permission!

The narrator again said, What is the decree for the time when the pregnancy is in its initial embryonic stage? The Imam replied, The development of man commences with the formation of the embryo. Allah says in the Quran: On the Day of Judgement the parents will be asked: for what crime you have killed your innocent child? 81:8-9 Abortion of foetus is a very amoral act, which Islam has forbidden. Also, such operations are highly risky for the life and health of the mother.

Dr Pak Nagar, addressing a seminar on abortion has said: It has been proved that forcing abortions reduces the expected age of the woman. Scientific research also has proved that abortion upsets the psychological balance of the womans mind. [1] From 1951 to 1953, according to the statistics of the New York City, 2601 women died during abortions. In the next ten years the fatality on this account has risen by 42%. In Chile 39% of female deaths were on account of abortions.

One excuse for having access to forced abortions is poverty. Some parents take shelter behind their poverty to kill their innocent children.
