Abortion after 4 months

Question
Assalamoalikum
As I am a doctor I want to ask a few questions to you
 1.if the baby heart is beating (4 month) but the brain is abnormal.
with my expert option it cannot be normal even after birth
and if the mother waits for 9 month the complication  to mother is expect or the baby wold deliver by surgery
what should we do mother wants to abort it


Answer
Wa alaikumussalam

    It’s not allowed since after four months both baby and mother are alive human n v can’t prefer one on other. we don’t have any right to kill an abnormal child.
Re-Question
is not normal should be preferred over abnormal......
Answer
no for two reasons:

  • both lives r of equal worth
  • whatever u judge medically is an expectation, not 100% reality. Islam can not allow to kill real human for probabilities. Moreover its also not decided either her mother remains alive for this period or not.
