If the doctors say that the life of the mother is gravely threatened if she gives birth, will abortion be permissible?

Question

If the doctors say that the life of the mother is gravely threatened if she gives birth, will abortion be permissible? What if it is a rape case?

Answer

Generally doctors are morons, zindeeqs and atheists. They disgorge much drivel. Maut comes at its appointed time with the command of Allah Ta'ala. Regardless of the threat to the mother's life, abortion will not be permissible once the Rooh (soul) has entered in the foetus. Once the rooh has entered the foetus, then abortion is haraam even if it is a rape case. Prior to the rooh settling in the foetus, it will be permissible.
