The Hadith and the opinions of legal, religious scholars, and commentators shape Muslims views on abortion. The Quran does not specifically address purposeful abortion, leaving this authority to each country’s laws. In Islam, it is believed that the foetus becomes a human life after 120 days of pregnancy and abortion after this period is forbidden. In general, Muslims believe that abortion is “Haram”, but there are many who accept it under certain circumstances. Muslim Law accepts abortion if the pregnancy puts the life of the mother in real danger . This is the only reason that can justify abortion after four (4) months of pregnancy.
